I Still Sing The Old Songs Lyrics - David Allan Coe

Grandpa I've been thinking about you lately 

Wondering if you'd found your peace of mind 

I guess you'd be proud to know your grandsons 

Never crossed that Mason Dixon line 

And I still sing the old songs that you taught me 

And I still pray to Jesus now and then 

And just like you I wish that he would save me 

To see the day the south will rise again 

Daddy wore his Purple Heart so proudly 

Long before I turned into a man 

Buried with our flag across his casket 

I was still too young to understand 

And I still sing the old songs that you taught me 

And I still pray to Jesus now and then 

And just like you I wish that he would save me 

To see the day the south will rise again 

Mama spent her last years in the garden 

While I took my turn behind a gun 

Lord I'd give my life to find the freedom lost within the old songs that you sung 

And I still sing the old songs that you taught me 

And I still pray to Jesus now and then 

And just like you I wish that he would save me 

To see the day the south will rise again
