Anything Is Nice If It Comes From Dixieland
During Tin Pan Alley days, songs about Dixie were all the rage and this jazzy number from 1919 is about the charms of Dixie and what Dixie 'brings to the table'.

Lyrics
Just to make our clothes the cotton grows, In dear old Alabam;
Each hungry mouth looks to the South, For sweet Virginia ham,
From Tennessee comes melody That's played by ev'ry band,
And if you're talking of chicken, Oh, Maryland!
Louisiana sugar is sweeter than the rose,
Just thank old Carolina, That's where Bull Durham grows,
If you're dreaming of a girl to love,
That's the place to win her hand,
Take my advice, Anything is nice,
If it comes from Dixie land.
