Whistle Dixie

(álbum: Darryl Worley - 2004)

I have walked greener pastures.
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 living, my simple southern life.
Tried to do my share of giving, 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
standing 'round shedding tears and feeling 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 knowing that some things are meant to be.
Like the way my age is showing 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 standing 'round shedding tears and feeling 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 awaiting.
(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 standing 'round shedding tears and feeling sorry.
(Don't want nobody feeling sorry)
'Cause I'm gone to see my God. (I'm going, 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)
