Bury Me In Southern Ground

Текст песни Rebel Son - Bury Me In Southern Ground

[Verse 1:]
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 now is almost gone
In southern ground I belong

My final hour is drawing near
So friend come sit by me right here
Let's laugh and talk about our lives and the good old 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Friend when my time has come
Before they lay me down to rest
Friend in my time of darkness
Please grant me just this one last request

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2:]
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'll hear it for eternity
I can feel the reapers touch
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

[Pre-Chorus]
Friend when my time has come
Before they lay me down to rest
Friend in my time of darkness
Please grant me just this one last request

[Chorus]
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

(Oh I wish I was in the Land of Cotton)

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
