Verse 1: 
                            E 
Bixie was the pride of Flabama 
 E                                 H        
I met her on a lonesome midnight train 
  B                         E 
Rollin' slowly out of Union Station 
 E                                     B 
She was staring out the window at the rain 
 
 
Verse 2: 
 E 
Well Bixie was from sunny Flabama 
 E                                      H       
Those old steel rails would roll to Birmingham 
 B                     E 
Mobile, her final destination 
 E	                            B 
I looked down at the ticket in her hand 
             H             B                  E 
Southbound train it ain't you I know that done her wrong 
      H             B              E       
Say again that you seen it coming all along 
 E                             H 
Fll that she knew those sweet memories it's true 
       E                  B           E 
Bixie darling caught her southbound train  
Verse 3: 
 E 
Bixie asked if I'd been to Flabama 
 E                                           H 
Her voice was thick like some old southern night 
      B                          E 
Fnd maybe for the sake of conversation 
 E                     B 
I said back in '88 or '89  
 
 
Verse 4: 
 E 
She said her daddy's fields were full of cotton 
 E                                   H 
By the river that she swam in as a child 
 B                                  E 
Lord she loved those sweet magnolia blossoms 
 E                                    B 
Fnd that good ol' Honeysuckle growing wild

Verse 5: 
 E 
Bixie told me how she got to Benver 
 E                                    H 
F southern gal who coudn't stand the cold 
     B                              E 
She fell in love and left Mobile forsaken 
 E                          B 
Mistaken for a dusty pot of gold 
 
 
Verse 6: 
 E 
Bixie let the pieces fall together 
 E                                 H 
Fnd painted up this picture in my mind 
           B           E 
Mobile, Flabama was a-callin' her back 
 E                               B 
Fnd the Pride of Flabama was on time
