E                                       A                                    E  
I'm dreamin' tonight of Dixie, Cotton Fields and Whipperwhills   
E                                                B                                 B7  
Where I used to live and wander, Through the rocks and the rivs'   
E                                                                                     A  
I can see my old dear mammy, while around the place she'd go   
E                                                B7                E        
On my farm in Lousianner where the old Red River flows  
  
E     A                                             E  
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii deeeeeeeeeeeee dooooooooooo looooooooooooooo - ooooooooooooooooahho (yodel)   
E                                                               B7  
You can hear them darkies crooning soft and low   
A                                              A  
and the twilight in the evening, so loooooooooooooooooooooow. (yodel)   
E  
So soft and looooooooooooooooooooooow - ooooooooooooooooahho (yodel)  
E                                              B7                      E  
On my farm in Louisianner where the old Red River Flows.   


Instrumental Break:  E,   A,   E,   B,   B7,   E,   A,   E,   B7,   E)  

Verse 2:   

Oh the lights tonight on Broadway. Electric lights, their bright as day.   

On the beach on Coney Island, where the laughter makes you gay.   

But I'm goin' back tonight love. On the icy wind she goes  

To my farm in Louisianner where the old Red River flows.  


Repeat Chorus  


Note: Using the provided youtube video would be very helpful. This song can take the wind from you, vocally. So hearing Hank do it himself might help.
