You Ain't Just Whistlin' Dixie Lyrics - 40 Years: The Album - Bellamy Brothers

Pine trees grow so tall in the bright sunshine 

A young boy steals his daddy's fishin' line 

An aligator lays on the banks of a river bed 

And if you didn't know any better you'd swear he's dead. 

Chorus: 

Now these are a few things I'm in love with 

A small part of the reason I go back 

To Carolina, Mississsippi, Florida, gorgeous Georgia 

Now if you think I'm happy down there you're on the right track. 

And you ain't just whistlin' Dixie 

You ain't just slappin' your knee 

I'm a grandson of the southland boys 

An heir to the Confederacy.

You ain't just whistlin' Dixie 

'Cause the cattle call's callin' me home 

So put me down there where I wanna be 

Plant my feet with Robert E. Lee 

Bury my bones under a cypress tree 

And never let me roam. 

And you ain't just whistlin' Dixie 

You ain't just slappin' your knee 

I'm a grandson of the southland boys 

An heir to the Confederacy. 

Cotton balls gleam and the cow gives cream 

For the baby's sake 

Pa comes in full of gin 

And he's mean as a rattlesnake. 

And if the well runs dry 

And we cry and cuss the garden hose 

Mama draws a bucket full of creek water 

Just to wash our clothes.
