I SANG DIXIE
AS HE DIED
THE PEOPLE JUST
WALKED ON BY
AS I CRIED
THE BOTTLE HAD
ROBBED HIM OF
ALL HIS REBEL PRIDE
I SANG DIXIE
AS HE DIED
SAID WAY DOWN YONDER
IN THE LAND OF COTTON
OLD TIMES THERE AIN'T
NEAR AS ROTTEN
AS THEY ARE
ON THIS DAMNED
OL' L.A. STREET
THEN HE DREW
A DYING BREATH
AND LAID HIS HEAD
AGAINST MY CHEST
PLEASE LORD
TAKE HIS SOUL
BACK HOME TO DIXIE
I SANG DIXIE
AS HE DIED
THE PEOPLE JUST
WALKED ON BY
AS I CRIED
THE BOTTLE HAD
ROBBED HIM OF
ALL HIS REBEL PRIDE
SO I SANG DIXIE
AS HE DIED
HE SAID
LISTEN TO ME SON
WHILE YOU STILL CAN
RUN BACK HOME TO
THAT SOUTHERN LAND
DON'T YOU SEE
WHAT LIFE HERE
HAS DONE TO ME
THEN HE CLOSED
THOSE OLD BLUE EYES
AND FELL LIMP
AGAINST MY SIDE
NO MORE PAIN AND
NOW HE'S SAFE
BACK HOME IN DIXIE
I SANG DIXIE
AS HE DIED
THE PEOPLE JUST
WALKED ON BY
AS I CRIED
THE BOTTLE HAD
ROBBED HIM OF
ALL HIS REBEL PRIDE
SO I SANG DIXIE
AS HE DIED
I SANG DIXIE
AS HE DIED
