Lyrics: Gerald Marks/Sammy Lerner/Irving Caesar
Music: Irving Caesar/Gerald Marks/Sammy Lerner
Is it true what they say about Dixie?
Does the sun really shine all the time?
Do the sweet magnolias blossom round everybody's door?
Do the folks keep eating possum,
Till they can't eat no more?
Is it true what they say about Suwanee?
Is a drink from that river so divine?
Do they laugh, do they love, like they say in every song?
If it's true, that's where I belong.
