chorus
E
i sang dixie as he died the people just walked on bye as i cried
A E
the bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride
B7 E
so i sang dixie as he died
verse 1
E
he said way down yonder in the land of cotton
A E
ole times there aint near as rotten as they are
E B7
on theses damned ole l . a streets
E
then he drew a dying breath
A
laid his head against my chest
E B7
oh please lord take his soul back
E
home to dixie
( chorus )
E
he said listen to me son while you still can
A
run back home to that southern land
E B7
dont you see what life here has done to me
E
then he closed those old blue eyes
A E
fell limp against my side no more pain
B7 E
now hes safe back home in dixie
( chorus )
