 intro

 Well the grass grows greener down south

 and the tea is sweeter down south

 the girls are tanner down in lower alabama

 we got them georgia peaches down south

 way down south

they're brewing white lighning down south

and the fish they're always biting down south

the joints are juking and the soul food's cooking

we get down on some grits down south

Chorus

Please play dixie when i die

lay me down neath that mason dixon line

we drink from dixie cups down south

and we'll sure jack up a truck down south

football's a religion and mama's always in the kitchen

thats just the way it is down south

well we got them crazy cajuns down south

dont you feed them alligators down south

you better watch your mouth when a woman comes around

we love our southern belles down south

Chorus

please play dixie when i die

lay me down neath a big ole georgia pine

well i was born and raised down south

and im sure nough gonna stay down south

write my name in stone when you bury all my bones

im gonna rest in peace down south

down south
