Lonesome Boy From Dixie Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

EWeAll there's a peach tree on a hill in northern EGeorgia

 Where a tGeenage boy sits staring at the Eground.

ASoon he'll leave to join the rebel Esoldiers

 for the CuGmberland andB Nashville he isE bound.

He goes down to ride with the Bedford Forrest Calv'ry

He can shoot a man at a hunnert yards or more

But he knows he's just like any other soldier.

If they spill his blood he'll never ride no more.

Chorus

Don't you know I'm just a lonesome boy from Dixie.

Help me Lord, I feel so all alone.

Don't you know I'm a lonesome boy from Dixie.

Gone to war and I just want to get home.

When the battle started the rebels were outnumbered

They shot his leg with an angry cannonball

The medic came and said "we'll all be lucky

If the boy from Georgia makes it home at all".

Chorus

Well there's a peach tree on a hill in northern Georgia

Where a horse stands like a statue made of stone.

Flowers bless a grave down in the meadow.

Now the lonesome boy from Dixie made it home.
