We tell

stories about

what goes on in Mont

gomery at midnight

Cause

music row ain&rs

quo;t on

ly in Tennessee

Won’

t you bury

me in Dixie beneath these Al

abama pines

Take me to Tusc

aloosa plant me under

the fifty yard

line

Put me in an old

truck Ford or Chevro

let

Drive me down to

Guntersville and

park me by the

lake

Take me to Toomer&rs

quo;s Corner p

Give ‘em t

oilet paper &rsq

uo;til they mummify me

I&rsq

uo;ll rest in peace if they bury

Dix

Well

Well

I'll

rest in peace if they bury me in

Dixie
