Bury Me In Southern Ground

Lyrics:

I was born in Dixieland Unreconstructed till the end 
In Carolina I was raised by my grandaddy and my daddy's ways 
They both taught me right from wrong, how to fight and how to get along 
But my own life is almost gone in Southern ground I belong. 

My final hour is drawing near, so friend come sit by me right here 
Lets laugh and talk about our lives and the good ol days before I die. 
Please give your word this vow you'll keep, when I return to earth to sleep 
Let me dream forever under Southern land, With a Dixie flag tied in my hand. 

Chorus:

When my time is come, before they lay me down to rest
Friends, in my time of darkness, Please grant me just this one last request 
Dixieland is where I wanna make my final stand 
I don't care if  I'm in a box or not when they lay me down 
Just bury me in Southern ground. 

One last look at the countryside before I close my weary eyes.
Southern air for my last breath, here comes my sweet angel of death
Sing Dixie while they lower me, so I hear it for eternity
I can feel the reapers touch, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Chorus:


When my time is come, before they lay me down to rest
Friends, in my time of darkness, Please grant me just this one last request 
Dixieland is where I wanna make my final stand 
I don't care if  I'm in a box or not when they lay me down 
Just bury me in Southern ground. 

Dixie land is where I wanna make my final stand
I don't care if I'm in a box or not when they lay me down
Just bury me in Southern ground.
