"I Want to be in Dixie", also sometimes titled "I want to be Down Home in Dixie", is an American popular song. A version was published by Irving Berlin and Ted Snyder in 1911,[1] but it is not clear if this was an original composition or an arrangement of a folk song.[citation needed]
The Laurel and Hardy film Way out West closes with Laurel, Hardy, and Rosina Lawrence (as Mary Roberts) singing the song as they depart the town of Brushwood Gulch.
