Whistle Dixie Lyrics - Darryl Worley - Darryl Worley

I have walked the greener pastures 

And I've made a lot of hay 

I've gone fast and even faster 

I've been lost and found my way 

Got a whole lot out of livin' 

My simple southern life 

Tried to do my share of givin' 

And I know my soul's all right 

So, everybody whistle Dixie 

When they lay me in the ground 

When that cold wind comes to get me 

I don't want nobody standin' 'round 

Sheddin' tears and feelin' sorry 

'Cause I'm gone to see my God 

Everybody whistle Dixie 

Let 'em lay me 'neath the sod 

There's a peace of mind in knowin' 

That some things are meant to be 

Like the way my age is showin' 

And that you were made for me 

Like the sweet Savannah sunshine 

And the Louisiana rain 

Things that make this life worth living 

And keep a man from goin' insane 

So, everybody whistle Dixie 

When they lay me in the ground 

When that cold wind comes to get me 

I don't want nobody standin' 'round 

Sheddin' tears and feelin' sorry 

'Cause I'm gonna go to see my God 

Everybody whistle Dixie 

Let 'em lay me 'neath the sod 

Lord, I love the land of cotton 

Yeah, but someday I'll say goodbye 

'Cause there's a better home awaitin' 

(There's a better home awaitin') 

Yeah, there's a mansion in the sky 

Everybody whistle Dixie 

(Everybody) 

Oh when they lay me in the ground 

(Everybody, when they lay me in the ground) 

When that cold wind comes to get me 

Don't want nobody standin' 'round 

Sheddin' tears and feelin' sorry 

(Don't want nobody feelin' sorry) 

'Cause I'm gonna go to see my God 

(I'm goin', I'm goin') 

Everybody whistle Dixie 

(Oh everybody whistle Dixie) 

Let 'em lay me 'neath the sod 

(Everybody whistle Dixie) 

Just let 'em lay me 'neath the sod 

(Everybody whistle Dixie, everybody)
