Whistling Dixie lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics  Whistling Dixie lyrics The pines trees grow so tall in the bright sunshine Young boy steals his daddy s fishing line Alligator lays on the banks of the river bed And if you did not know any better you d swear he s dead Now these are a few things I m in love with A small part of the reasons I go back to Carolina, Mississippi, Florida gorgeous Georgia Now if you think I m happy down there your on the right track chorus- And you ain t just whistling Dixie you ain t just slapping your knee I m a grandson of the southland and heir to the confederacy You ain t just whistling Dixie cause the cattle calls calling me home So put me down there where I want to be, plant my feet with Robert E. Lee Bury my bones under a cypress tree and never let me roam The cotton balls gleam and the cows give cream for the baby s sake And pa comes in full of gin and he s mean as a rattle snake And the well runs dry and we cry and cuss the garden hose And mama draws a bucket full of sweet water just to wash our cloths (repeat chorus) song lyrics
