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
