Chorus
I sang Dixie as he died the people just walked on bye as I cried
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride
So I sang Dixie as he died
Verse 1
He said way down yonder in the land of cotton
Ole times there aint near as rotten as they are
On theses damned ole L.A streets
Then he drew a dying breath
Laid his head against my chest
Oh please lord take his soul back
Home to Dixie
(Chorus)
He said listen to me son while you still can
Run back home to that southern land
Dont you see what life here has done to me
Then he closed those old blue eyes
Fell limp against my side no more pain
Now hes safe back home in Dixie
(chorus)
