Bellamy Brothers?You Ain't Just Whistlin' Dixie
Verse 1:

Pine trees grow so tall in the bright sunshine

A young boy steals his daddy's fishin' line
A D E
An alligator lays on the banks of a riverbed
D E
And if you didn't know any better
A
You'd swear he's dead
Chorus:
Bm E A
Now these are a few things I'm in love with
Bm E A
A small part of the reason I go back
Bm E A
To Carolina Mississsippi Florida gorgeous Georgia
Bm E
Now if you think I'm happy down there
A
You're on the right track
D E
And you ain't just whistlin Dixie
A D
You ain't just slappin your knee
D E
I'm a grandson of the Southland
A A7
An heir to the Confederacy
D E
You ain't just whistlin Dixie
A D
?Cause the cattle call's callin' me home
D E
So put me down there where I wanna be

Plant my feet with Robert E. Lee
D E
Bury my bones under a cypress tree
D C#m E A
And never let me roam
Verse 2:
A D E
Cotton balls gleam and the cow gives cream for the baby's sake
D E A
Pa comes in full of gin and he's mean as a rattlesnake
A D E
And if the well runs dry and we cry and cuss the garden hose
D E A
Mama draws a bucket full of creek water just to wash our clothes
(Chorus)
