I was standing at the jukebox and my glass then had just run dry

I said now "Hey there, girl, wouldn't wanna lose your name before you walk on by"

"Dixie is the name" she said, "And I want your reason why

Your manner seems down in your boots, too much of the whisky dry"

I said now "Come on, Dixie

Let's be friends tonight, I don't wanna fight"

I said now "Come on, Dixie, be my queen

Come on and be my Dixie

Come on, Dixie, be my queen

Come on and be my Dixie queen"

She said "Now listen, boy, you'd better change your ways

I'm a lady with a lot of high class

I don't need no bad, rough and cheap talking guys

Gonna fool, have a little contest"

Well all right, Dixie, give a man a chance

If you're ready for a real romance

And if you say you're a lady with a lot of high class

I know you'd give a man a chance

I said now "Come on, Dixie

Let's be friends tonight, I don't wanna fight"

I said now "Come on, Dixie, be my queen

Come on and be my Dixie

Come on, Dixie, be my queen

Come on and be my Dixie queen"

She said "Now listen, boy, you'd better change your ways

I'm a lady with a lot of high class

I don't need no bad, rough and cheap talking guys

Gonna fool, have a little contest"

Well all right, Dixie, give a man a chance

If you're ready for a real romance

And if you say you're a lady with a lot of high class

I know you'd give a man a chance

I said now "Come on, Dixie

Let's be friends tonight, I don't wanna fight"

I said now "Come on, Dixie, be my queen

Come on and be my Dixie

Come on, Dixie, be my queen

Come on and be my Dixie queen"
