Mt Cheaha is my Everest and the
Coosa is my Nile
Alabama’s where I was born and
raised I think I’ll stay a while
We sing about sweet home and Dixie
Land Delight
We tell stories about what goes on
in Montgomery at midnight
Cause music row ain’t only in
Tennessee, Won’t you bury me in
dixie beneath these Alabama pines.
Take me to Tuscaloosa plant me under
the fifty yard line.
Put me in an old truck Ford or
Chevrolet
Drive me down to Guntersville and
park me by the lake.
Take me to Toomer’s Corner put me
under an oak tree.
Give ‘em toilet paper ’til they
mummify me
I’ll rest in peace if they bury me
in Dixie
Well lay me by daddy and my grandpa
just the same
I want every headstone
next to me to read my last name
Take me back to Jacksonville Drive
me up mountain Street
Lead me in to ole Paul Snow and show
me to my seat.
When God decides it’s time for us to
meet
Won’t you bury me in dixie where
hard work is a plow I wish Robert .
Lee could come back and take a bow
Or take me to the Flora-Bama, set me
up at the mullet toss
Everybody, drinks on me and I don’t
care what it cost
Or take me to Talladega spread my
ashes in turn three
Paint my casket black with a big ass
number three
I’ll rest in peace if they bury me
in Dixie
Well God Bless Alabama from Sea to
Tennessee
I'll rest in peace if they bury me
in Dixie
