Pine trees grow so tall in the bright sunshine
            E                  A
A young boy steals his daddy's fishin' line
A             D                                    E         D
The alligator lays right there on the banks of the riverbed

You'd swear he was dead

Now these are a few things I'm in love with
          Bm                E           A
They're a small part of the reason I go back
       Bm                  E                 A
To Carolina, Mississsippi, Florida, gorgeous Georgia
           Bm                   E

And you ain't just whistlin Dixie
        A                        D
No, you ain't just slappin' your knee
             D               E
'Cause 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
D                  E
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
