Song language: English
I Sang Dixie |
| I sang Dixie as he died |
| The people just walked on by as I cried |
| The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride |
| So I sang Dixie as he died |
| He said way down yonder in the land of cotton |
| Old times there ain’t near as rotten as they are |
| On this damned old LA street |
| Then he drew a dying breath and laid his head against my chest |
| Please Lord take his soul back home to Dixie |
| I sang Dixie as he died |
| People just walked on by as I cried |
| The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride |
| So I sang Dixie as he died |
| He said listen to me son while you still can |
| Run back home to that southern land |
| Don’t you see what life here has done to me |
| Then he closed those old blue eyes and fell limp against my side |
| No more pain now he’s safe back home in Dixie |
| I sang Dixie as he died. |
| People just walked on by as I cried |
| The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride |
| I sang Dixie as he died |
| I sang Dixie as he died |
