														   (D. Yoakam)

 

 Chorus:

 f you ever get south of Cincinnati down where
the dogwood trees grow

 If you ever get south of the Mason Dixon to the
home you left so long ago

 If you ever get south of the Ohio River down
where Dixieland begins

 If you ever get south of Cincinnati I'll be
yours again

 

 She pulled the letter from the pages of her
Bible

 And a rose pressed inside the Book of Luke

 For fourteen years she'd write each day but keep
it hidden

 Refused to even speak his name, but still she
wrote

 

 Chorus:

 If you ever get south of Cincinnati down where
the dogwood trees grow

 If you ever get south of the Mason Dixon to the
home you left so long ago

 If you ever get south of the Ohio River down
where Dixieland begins

 If you ever get south of Cincinnati I'll be
yours again

 

 At a cold gray apartment in Chicago

 A cigarette drowns inside a glass of gin

 He lies there drunk, but it don't matter drunk
or sober

 He'll never read the words that pride won't let
her send

 

 Chorus:

 If you ever get south of Cincinnati down where
the dogwood trees grow

 If you ever get south of the Mason Dixon to the
home you left so long ago

 If you ever get south of the Ohio River down
where Dixieland begins

 If you ever get south of Cincinnati I'll be
yours again

 Then I'll be yours again
