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 ain�t 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

Don�t 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 he�s safe back home in Dixie
