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?)
Beneath a moon
(You oughta see the way it shines)
Bright beyond compare
(The way it shines upon the pine)

When you hear blue jays
Chirping high and sassy
And catch one sniff of southern cooking
Hanging on the evening air
Super is waiting on the table

When you see folks
(Having their after dinner chats)
All polite and classy
(Gentlemen all remove their hats)
And every smile
(Perfect harmony and peace)
Bids you stay and rest
(Hand the porter your valise)

Get off that train
(Sit down and miss your chance)
You're in Tallahassee
(The capital city of Florida)
And the Southland at its best
(But Dixie at its very best)

When you see folks
(Having their after dinner chats)
All polite and classy
(Gentlemen all remove their hats)
And every smile
(Perfect harmony and peace)
Bids you stay and rest
(Hand the porter your valise)

Get off that train
(Sit down and miss your chance)
You're in Tallahassee
(The capital city of Florida)
And the Southland at its best
(But Dixie at its very best)
