Goodbye, Northman, I'm on my way Tuesday's my busy day Grip's all packed and I'm feeling gay Here's all I can say Drop me down in Caroline Caroline that would be fine Any place below the Dixon Line Alabama or Tennessee Sure enough looks good to me I know I'll find some kinfolks there of mine Been away too long up with the ice and snow So now I crave to travel back where warm, warm breezes blow But from now on when writing me If not there, just forward please Somewhere down below the Dixon Lone It ain't no use my telling you The many things I crave If you will come along with me You'll know what I say Drop me down in Caroline Caroline that would be fine Any place below the Dixon Line Alabama or Tennessee Sure enough looks good to me I know I'll find some kinfolks there of mine Been away too long up with the ice and snow So now I crave to travel back where warm, warm breezes blow But from now on when writing me If not there, just forward please Somewhere down below the Dixon Line
