[Verse 1]
Her name was GDixie and when I was young
She was all I knew and all I knew to Dlove
She held me in her Garms and filled all my needs
And I Cswore on that sacred Dsoil that I’d never Gleave
But as a young boy gGrows and becomes a man
He does foolish things even he don’t undDerstand
I had to see the Gworld, Wanted the world to see me
And while sChe slept I slipped Daway frGom Dixie
[Chorus]
I was so far from my hCome when I got the wGord
I fCell to my knees and sC/Bpilled my tears on the dDirt
Now wherever I Gam when spring comes to mDeD/F#  G  
I Cdig a hole and Dplant a rose for GDixie

[Verse 2]
The years have worn me wGell, My skin burns to the touch
And every step takes from the one I love so Dmuch
I’m the last of my Gkind, My kind dies to be free
And wChen they dig my Dhole, plant a rose for Gme
[Chorus]
I was so far from my hCome when I got the Gword
I Cfell to my knees and C/Bspilled my tears on the Ddirt
Now wherever I Gam when spring comes to DmeD/F#  G  
I Cdig a hole and pDlant a rose for GDixie
[Bridge]
Now wherever I Gam when spring comes to DmeD/F#  G  
I Cdig a hole and Dplant a rose for GDixie
I Cdig a hole and Dplant a rose – a rose for GDixie
