Ol' Marse Robert done told me to get my gun

Gonna get em out the south land, we gonna make em run

It's been two years since that day

I sure thought it would be a quick one but it didnt turn out that way
[Verse 2]
CGF
I smell the blood and the honeysuckle on the wind
CGAmF
Holding the hand of another soon-to-be-dead friend
CGF
A single tear comes to his eyes
FG
And as we reminisce about his momma I asked Lord, Why?, Why oh Why?

Take him on back home to Dixie

Let his momma see that shining southern face

They got me sitting on the river bank shore
CGAmF
In just a few short months I done killed me twenty or more
CGF
Sherman wouldn't be too happy with me
FGG7
And as Atlanta sits in ashes I wonder, how worse could it be?

I remember when I was young

I could still hold my Daddy's hand

Looking out my back door

He said, "this is your land...... son this is your land"

CGF
I met my maker at the break of dawn, Well i was
CGAmF
thinking bout my kids and I didnt hear his one bullet song
CGF
The rustle of the leaves underneath my blood-stained hands
FGG7
And as I gasp for one last breath I wonder, what kind of man I am?
[Verse 7]

Take me on back home to Dixie

Just get me out of this wretched place

Lying face up looking at the amber sky

One last thought of her.....before i die
