Bury Me In Dixie

Bury Me In Dixie
His true love led him north to Chicago. Lived there forty years and never called it home. He only went along because he loved her, no he never planned on staying that long. When the years and the miles finally caught him he was still a thousand miles away. from the warm summer sun and the memories from his home in the red Georgia Clay.

Chorus:
He said, when I die bury me in Dixie, about a hundred miles south of the line. Where the red bud and dog woods are blooming and where you can smell that honeysuckle vine. In that field in the corner of the fence row sheltered by a hundred year old pine, Lord before you take me to heaven want you swing me down through dixie one more time.

I want to see that chattahoochie river, smell the red hot asphalt after the rain, hear the whistle from the 919 from Waycross, man you know I love that old train. When my time finally comes don't let it catch me in this cold windy city ice and snow, take me home where everybody loves and where I know they'll miss when I'm gone.

Chorus:
He said, when I die bury me in Dixie, about a hundred miles south of the line. Where the red bud and dog woods are blooming and where you can smell that honeysuckle vine. In that field in the corner of the fence row the one Grandaddy bought in 59, Lord before you take me to heaven want you swing me down through dixie one more time. Lord before you take me to heaven on high want you swing me down through dixie one more time.
