I sang Dixie as he died The people just walked on by as I cried The bottle had robbed him of his rebel pride So I sang Dixie as he died He said way down yonder in the land of cotton Old times there ain't near as rotten as they are On this damned old LA street Then he drew his dying breath And laid his head against my chest Please Lord take his soul back home to Dixie He said listen to me son while you still can Run back home to that southern land Don't you see what life here has done to me? then he closed those big blue eyes And fell limp against my side No more pain now he?s safe back home in Dixie
