You Ain't Just Whistlin' Dixie Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Pine trees grow [C]so tall
in the bright [D]sunshine
[G]A y[D]oun[C]g boy steals[D]
his daddy's [G]fishin' line
The alligator [C]lays on
the banks of [D]a riverbed
[G]And [D]if [C]you didn't know any be[D]tter
you'd [G]swear he's dead

[Verse 2]
[Am]
Now these are a few [D]things
I'm in [G]love with
[Am]A small part of [D]the reason I'd go back
[G]To [Am]Carolina, Mississippi,
Florid[D]a, gorgeous Geor[G]gia
Now if [Am]you think I'm happy down there
[D]you're on the right tra[G]ck

[Verse 3]
And you [C]ain't just whistlin' [D]Dixie
You [G]ain't just slappin' your [C]knee
I'm a grandson of [D]the Southland
An [G]heir to the Confederacy

[Verse 4]
You [C]ain't just whistlin' [D]Dixie
'Cause [G]the cattle call's
callin' me [C]home
[G]So put [C]me down there
where I wan[D]na be
[C]Plant my feet with Rober[D]t E. Lee
[C]Bury my bones under [D]a cypress tree
[C]And never let me roam

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][G][D][C][D][C][D]

[Verse 5]
The [G]cotton balls gleam and the cow
[C]gives cream for the[D] baby's sake
And [C]pa comes in full [D]of gin and he's
mean as a [G]rattlesnake
And if the well runs dry and [C]we cry
[G]and cuss [D]the garden [G]hose[D]
Then [C]mama draws a bucket full of creek
[D]water just to was[G]h our clothes

[Verse 6]
[G]Now [Am]these are a few thin[D]gs
I'm in love [G]with
[Am]A small part of the [D]reason
I go [G]back
[Am]To Carolina, Mississippi,
Florid[D]a, gorgeous Geor[G]gia
Now if you [Am]think I'm happy down there
[D]you're on the right tra[G]ck
[C]And you[G] ain't

[Verse 7]
[C]just whistlin' Dix[D]ie
You [G]ain't just slappin' your [C]knee
I'm a grandson of [D]the Southland boys
An [G]heir to the Confederacy

[Verse 8]
You [C]ain't just whistlin' [D]Dixie
'Cause [G]the cattle call's
callin' me [C]home
[G]So put [C]me down there
where I wan[D]na be
[C]Plant my feet with Rober[D]t E. Lee
[C]Bury my bones under [D]a cypress tree
And [C]never let me roam
