Version 1 Version 2THIS MATCHES THE RECORDING [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 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 2] 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] 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
