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
Don’t 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 he’s safe back home in Dixie

(chorus)
