ELLA FITZGERALD lyrics - Strictly From Dixie

I didn't get my Dixie drawl

A-drinkin' out of a Dixie cup

Yes sir, I'm strictly from Dixie



And when I say, "I loves you all"

It's meant to be on the up-and-up

Yes sir, I'm strictly from Dixie



When I came up from the South

I felt so down in the mouth

Then I took one look at you

And thought about Dixie skies of blue

I thought about sweet magnolias too



I never missed a cotton bowl

I like my tulips a trifle tall

Yes sir, I'm strictly from Dixie
