IS IT TRUE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT DIXIE?

Jimmy Dorsey

(Irving Caesar, Sammy Lerner & Gerald Marks)



Is it true what they say about Dixie?

Does the sun really shine all the time?

Do the sweet magnolias blossom at everybody's door?

Do folks keep eating possum till they can't eat no more?



Is it true what they say about Swanee?

Is a dream by that stream so sublime?

Do they laugh, do they love, like they say in every song?

If it's true, that's where I belong.
