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
                                  
An alligator lays on the banks of a riverbed
	     	       
     And if you didn't know any better
      
You'd swear he's dead

Chorus:
                                    
     Now these are a few things I'm in love with
                             
A small part of the reason I go back
                                       
To Carolina Mississsippi Florida gorgeous Georgia
                              
Now if you think I'm happy down there
                    
You're on the right track
                           
And you ain't just whistlin Dixie
                           
You ain't just slappin your knee
                     
I'm a grandson of the Southland
                  
An heir to the Confederacy
                       
You ain't just whistlin Dixie
                                   
?Cause the cattle call's callin' me home
                            
So put me down there where I wanna be
                  
Plant my feet with Robert E. Lee
                     
Bury my bones under a cypress tree
            
And never let me roam

Verse 2:


			                          
Cotton balls gleam and the cow gives cream for the baby's sake
	                                  
Pa comes in full of gin and he's mean as a rattlesnake
                                               
And if the well runs dry and we cry and cuss the garden hose
                                              
Mama draws a bucket full of creek water just to wash our clothes

(Chorus)
