Calvary Lyrics


Down south where the air is wet
The red day rules and you can bet
It makes me proud, I'll never forget
My DixielandFulton County Georgia, that's where I was born
With a fire in my tail and a devil's horn
Daddy never listened to my mother's scorn
He loved to play it loud and he played it loudLook away Dixieland
'Cause we're a rock n' roll rebel Dixie band
Look away DixielandI lost a lot of time ten years to the day
I lost a lot of time trying to find my way
If I make it back home, I'll be okayWith ice tea wishes and corn bread dream
It keeps me going or so it would seem
I keep it up, never let up steam
I sing it loud and proud, loud and proudLook away Dixieland
'Cause we're a rock n' roll rebel Dixie band
Look away Dixieland, look away DixielandAnd when the day comes around that my music's gone
Don't leave me here and don't leave me alone
Just take me back home with the boys in the band

We'll start it back up in DixielandLook away Dixieland
'Cause we're a rock n' roll rebel Dixie band
Look away Dixieland, look away
'Cause we're a rock n' roll rebel stomp our way outta hand
So look away Dixieland, look away Dixieland, look awayLook away Dixieland

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Mahalia Jackson (October 26, 1911 – January 27, 1972) was an American gospel singer. Possessing a powerful contralto voice, she was referred to as "The Queen of Gospel". Jackson became one of the most influential gospel singers in the world and was heralded internationally as a singer and civil rights activist. She was described by entertainer Harry Belafonte as "the single most powerful black woman in the United States". She recorded about 30 albums (mostly for Columbia Records) during her career, and her 45 rpm records included a dozen "golds"—million-sellers.
