Oh, won't you listen,
all you people on the southbound
train?
Oh, won't you listen
to my friendly advice?
About a quarter after seven
we'll be pulling into paradise.
When you see land,
out of the window of a train,
kinda green and grassy,
how in the world can you complain?
Be neath the moon,
you oughta see the way it shines,
bright beyond compare,
the way it shines upon the pines,
And when you hear blue jays
chirping high and sassy
And catch one sniff
of southern cooking
hanging on the evening air
Supper's waiting on the table
when you see food
Hav ing their after -dinner chat,
all polite and classy,
gentlemen all remove their hats,
and every smile,
perfect harmony indeed,
bid you stay and rest,
and the porter you're the least,
get off that train,
sit down and rest your chest,
you're in Tallahassee,
The capital city of Florida
an d the South land at its best.
For Dixie at its very best.
When you see folks
Having their after dinner chats
All polite an d classy
Gentlemen all remove their hats
And every smile
Perfect harmony and peace
Did you stay and rest
And the poor heard your beliefs
Get off that tree
Sit down and rest your chest
In your entire Mahassey
The capital city of Florida
Endless love, an d it's bad,
but it's the end, it's very bad.
