Whistling Dixie lyrics MP3 Song

song lyrics  Whistling Dixie lyrics
The pines trees grow so tall in the bright sunshine

Young boy steals his daddy s fishing line

Alligator lays on the banks of the river bed

And if you did not 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 reasons I go back to Carolina, Mississippi, Florida
gorgeous Georgia

Now if you think I m happy down there your on the right track

chorus- And you ain t just whistling Dixie you ain t just slapping your knee

I m a grandson of the southland and heir to the confederacy

You ain t just whistling Dixie cause the cattle calls calling me home

So put me down there where I want to be, plant my feet with 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 rattle snake

And the well runs dry and we cry and cuss the garden hose

And mama draws a bucket full of sweet water just to wash our cloths

(repeat chorus)
