You Ain't Just Whistlin' Dixie

In the style of

The Bellamy Brothers

Lyrics

pine trees grow
so tall in the bright
sunshine
a young boy steals
his daddy's fishin' line

the alligator lays
on the banks of
the riverbed
and if you didn't know
any better
you'd swear he's dead

now these are a few
things i'm in love with
a small part of
the reason i go back
to carolina
mississippi florida
gorgeous georgia

now if you think
i'm happy down there
you're on
the right track

and you ain't just
a-whistlin' dixie
you ain't just
slappin' your knee
i'm a grandson of
the southland
an heir to
the confederacy

you ain't just
a-whistlin' dixie
'cause
the cattle call's
callin' me home

so put me down there
where i want to be
plant my feet with
the robert e. lee
bury my bones under
a cypress tree and
never let me roam

the cotton balls
gleam and the cows
give cream for
the baby's sake

and pa comes in
full of gin
and he's mean as
a rattlesnake
and then the well
runs dry and we cry
and cuss
the garden hose

and mama draws
a bucket full of
creek water
just to wash
our clothes

now these are a few
things i'm in love with
a small part of
the reason i go back
to carolina
mississippi florida
gorgeous georgia

now if you think
i'm happy down there
you're on
the right track

and you ain't just
a-whistlin' dixie
you ain't just
slappin' your knee
i'm a grandson of
the southland boys
an heir to
the confederacy

you ain't just
a-whistlin' dixie
'cause
the cattle call's
callin' me home

so put me down there
where i want to be
plant my feet with
the robert e. lee
bury my bones under
a cypress tree and
never let me roam
