Tallahassee

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 pullin' 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 the moon (You oughta see the way it shines)
Bright beyond compare (The way it shines upon the pines)

When you hear blue jays chirpin' high and sassy
And catch one sniff of Southern cookin'
Hangin' on the evenin' air (Supper's waitin' on the table)

When you see folks (Havin' 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 rest your chassis)
You're in Tallahassee (The capital city of Florida)
And the Southland at its best (For Dixie at its very best)

When you see folks (Havin' their after-dinner chats)

You're in Tallahassee (The capital city of Florida)
And the Southland at its best (For Dixie at its very best)
