D

I sang Dixie as he died

D7

The people just walked on by as I cried

G D

The bottle had robbed him of his rebel pride

A D

So I sang Dixie as he died

He said way down yonder in the land of cotton

G D

Old times there ainât near as rotten as they are

A

On this damned old LA street

D

Then he drew his dying breath

G

And laid his head against my chest

D A D

Please Lord take his soul back home to Dixie

D

He said listen to me son while you still can

G

Run back home to that southern land

D A

Donât you see what life here has done to me?

D

Then he closed those big blue eyes

G

And fell limp against my side

D A D

No more pain now heâs safe back home in Dixie
