Darryl Worley - Whistle Dixie lyrics
[Darryl Worley - Whistle Dixie lyrics]
And I've made a lot of hay
I've gone fast and even faster
I've been lost and found my way
Got a whole lot out of livin'
My simple southern life
Tried to do my share of givin'
And I know my soul's all right
So, everybody whistle Dixie
When they lay me in the ground
When that cold wind comes to get me
I don't want nobody
Standin' ‘round sheddin' tears
And feelin' sorry ‘Cause, I'm gone to see my
God everybody whistle Dixie
Let ‘em lay me ‘neath the sod
There's a peace of mind in knowin' that
Some things are meant to be
Like the way my age is showin' and
That you were made for me
Like the sweet Savannah sunshine
And the Louisiana rain
Things that make this life worth living and
Keep a man from going insane
So, everybody whistle Dixie
When they lay me in the ground
When that cold wind comes to get me
I don't want nobody standin' ‘round
Sheddin' tears and feelin' sorry
‘Cause, I'm gonna go to see my
God hey everybody whistle Dixie
Let ‘em lay me ‘neath the sod
Lord, I love the land of cotton
Yeah, but someday I'll say goodbye ‘Cause
There's a better home awaitin'
(There's a better home awaitin') yeah
There's a mansion in the sky
Everybody whistle Dixie
(Everybody, everybody)
Oh when they lay me in the ground
(When they lay me in the ground)
When that cold wind comes to get me
Don't want nobody standin' ‘round sheddin'
Tears and feelin' sorry
(Don't want nobody feelin' sorry)
‘Cause, I'm gone to see my God
(I'm goin', I'm goin')
Everybody whistle Dixie
(Everybody whistle Dixie) Let ‘em lay
Me ‘neath the sod
Yeah, everybody whistle Dixie
(Everybody whistle Dixie) Just let ‘em
Lay me ‘neath the sod
(Everybody whistle Dixie, everybody)
