American by Birth |
| I’m gonna go down on the creek bank, gather all my people |
| Pitch horseshoes until the sun goes down |
| Gonna barbecue my ribs, eat potato salad |
| Let the bird dogs run, let the children sing |
| Lord we’re gonna get down |
| Yes, we shall gather down in Dixie |
| Where my father and my children’s feet have trod |
| We shall all sing «Hallelujah» |
| I’m American by birth, and Southern by the grace of God |
| I’m gonna slip off with my cousin |
| For a little shot of bourbon |
| Listen to him stretch the truth for a little while |
| I’m gonna sneak up behind my baby |
| And tell her that I love her |
| I’m gonna lay her down in a hickory sheet |
| And watch my baby smile |
| Yes, we shall gather down in Dixie |
| Where my father and my children’s feet have trod |
| We shall all sing «Hallelujah» |
| I’m American by birth, and Southern by the grace of God |
| Yes, we shall gather down in Dixie |
| Where my father and my children’s feet have trod |
| We shall all sing «Hallelujah» |
| I’m American by birth, and Southern by the grace of God |
