Song Description

Miss Dixie Made a Man of Me is an uptempo Dixieland Jazz song about the temptations of New Orleans.

Lyrics

Well, I went down to New Orleans ?cause I heard her callin? out for me.
She said, ?Son, you?ve got to try you some bayou hospitality.?
But without any warning, how ever could I know
She?d love me ?til the morning and she?d never let me go?
So if you wanna find me, that?s where I?ll be, I guarantee.


?Cause you can?t contain the thunder of Dixie basses way down low
When they?re slowly walkin? under those rusty trumpets as they blow.
And when that clarinet is set to free that melody,
The notes I hear it belt begin to melt all over me.
So if you wanna find me, deep down in Dixie?s where I?ll be.

(Instrumental Solos)

Last night, I hit the Quarter to do it up in the ol? style.
And ain?t that just like a lady to tease me with that Creole smile?
She danced around until I nearly drowned in ecstasy,
Much deeper down in Dixie than I ever thought I?d be,
And I?d like to tell you finally, Miss Dixie made a man of me.

(Interlude)

And I?d like to thank her kindly?Miss Dixie made a man of me.
