 Just like the song "Dixie"....

 I was born one {January} frosty morning down in {South Georgia} Dixie!

 Down Dixie way we use some saying that are not common in the rest of the world!

 My dear Grandmother would say:   " You yung'uns uns get in here and scrub up for supper..."

 Then so times someone would say,  "look over youn'er, see that there rainbow?"

 Grandaddy said, " If yu'al don't get in here right now, you boys are gon'a get a whoopin right directly! "

 Some would say when preparing to do something, " I'm a gon'a right directly." 

 Then you could hear a person say, " I'm been a gon'a  to get a hunka ham, right directly."

 I'm a go'na to stir some'ump up...  

 It's a coming a big st'rm...

 There are more which we will look at later...

 Here are some references to songs about Dixie!

	"Dixie" 1916 rendition of Dixie by the Metropolitan Mixed Chorus with Ada Jones and Billy Murray
