Whistle Dixie
|
(Darryl Worley)
|
|
I have walked the greener pastures
|
And I've made a lot of hay
|
I've gone fast and even faster
|
I've been lost and found my way
|
Got a whole lot out of livin'
|
My simple southern life
|
Tried to do my share of givin'
|
And I know my soul's all right
|
|
Chorus 1:
|
So, everybody whistle Dixie
|
When they lay me in the ground
|
When that cold wind comes to get me
|
I don?t want nobody standin' 'round
|
Sheddin' tears and feelin' sorry
|
'Cause I'm gone to see my God
|
Everybody whistle Dixie
|
Let 'em lay me 'neath the sod
|
|
There's a peace of mind in knowin'
|
That some things are meant to be
|
Like the way my age is showin'
|
And that you were made for me
|
Like the sweet Savannah sunshine
|
And the Louisiana rain
|
Things that make this life worth living
|
And keep a man from goin' insane
|
|
Repeat Chorus 1:
|
|
Lord, I love the land of cotton
|
Yeah, but someday I'll say goodbye
|
'Cause there's a better home awaitin' (There's a better home awaitin')
|
Yeah, there's a mansion in the sky
|
|
Chorus 2:
|
Everybody whistle Dixie (Everybody, Everybody)
|
When they lay me in the ground (When they lay me in the ground)
|
When that cold wind comes to get me
|
I Don't want nobody standin' 'round
|
Sheddin' tears and feelin' sorry (Don't want nobody feelin' sorry)
|
'Cause I'm gonna go to see my God (I'm goin', I'm goin')
|
Everybody whistle Dixie (Oh everybody whistle Dixie)
|
Let 'em lay me 'neath the sod
|
Yeah, everybody whistle Dixie (Everybody whistle Dixie)
|
Just let 'em lay me 'neath the sod (Everybody whistle Dixie, everybody)
