Lay me down in Dixie, let the world go by me I'm gonna stay right there 'till gabriel calls Pull your dreams around me, wrap me in your memory Lord, I love dixie most of all Somewhere in the land where the warm sun is shining Somewhere someone's speaking in the warm southern brogue Lay me down in Dixie, where they understand me Lord, I love Dixie most of all Lay me down in Dixie, and when they come to take me You know that I'll be ready when they call For I have seen the daylight, so I do not fear the midnight Lord, I love Dixie most of all Somewhere in the land where the warm sun is shining Somewhere someone's speaking in the warm southern brogue Lay me down in Dixie, where they understand me Lord, I love Dixie most of all Lord, I love Dixie most of all
