I Sang Dixie (Previously Unreleased)

I sang Dixie as he died

The people just walked on by as I cried

The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride

I sang Dixie as he diedHe said way down yonder in the land of cotton

Old times there ain't near as rotten as they are

On this damned old L.A. street

he drew a dying breath

laid his head against my chest

Please Lord take his soul back home to DixieI sang Dixie as he died

The people just walked on by as I cried

The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride

So I sang Dixie as he diedHe 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 old blue eyes

And fell limp against my side

No more pain, now he's safe back home in Dixie
