[Verse]
Mt DCheaha is my Everest and the ACoosa is my Nile
AlaBmbama’s where I was Aborn and raised I Gthink I’ll stay a while
We Dsing about sweet home and ADixie Land Delight
We tell Bmstories about Awhat goes on in MontGgomery at midnight
Cause Bmmusic row ain’t Aonly in GTennessee
           A*                                   D  A  
Won’t you bury me in Dixie beneath these Alabama pines 
Take me to TuscBmaloosa plant me under Athe fifty yard Gline
Put me in an old Dtruck Ford or ChevroAlet 
Drive me down to BmGuntersville and Apark me by the Glake
BmTake me to Toomer’s ACorner put me Gunder an oak tree
BmGive ‘em toilet Apaper ’til they Gmummify me
      A*                                D    A   Bm    A   G  
I’ll rest in peace if they bury me in Dixie
Well Dlay me by daddy and my Agrandpa just the same
I want Bmevery headstone Anext to me to Gread my last name
DTake me back to Jacksonville Drive Ame up mountain Street
BmLead me in to Aole Paul Snow and Gshow me to my seat
When BmGod decides it’s Atime for us to Gmeet
           A*                                  D  A  
Won’t you bury me in Dixie where hard work is a plow
I wish Robert BmE. Lee could come Aback and take a Gbow
Or take me to the Flora-DBama, set me up at the mullet Atoss
Everybody, Bmdrinks on me and I Adon’t care what it Gcost
Or Bmtake me to TallaAdega spread my Gashes in turn three
BmPaint my casket Ablack with a Gbig ass number three
      A*                                D    A   Bm    A   G  
I’ll rest in peace if they bury me in Dixie
