[Verse 1]
ATakin' a trip in my old Chevy, Dridin' through the south
I Alooked up on a hill and I Esaw a big white house
I Acaught a glimpse of a bearded man Dpolishing his sword
Well, AI saw Robert E. Lee outside Esittin' on the Aporch
I Apulled up in the yard and saw a Dcotton field out back
He Ainvited me to sit with him and Eshare a fifth of Jack
He had Acriss-cross bars and thirteen stars Dblowing in the wind
He said, "ASave your Confederate money, boy 'cause the Esouth will rise Aagain."
[Chorus]
And DRobert E. Lee did not like them Anortherners one bit
He was a Drebel and he knew it and he Adidn't give a Eshit
We've been Dtalkin' about Dixie and how Aold times used to F#mbe
And I've been Dsittin' up Adrinkin' with ERobert E. ALee
[Verse 2]
AWe talked about his troops in the Drebel infantry
And those Athirteen southern states that Elive in infamy
As he Atook another swig of his Dblack label whiskey
He said, "AThat yankee pride don't mean a Edamn thing to Ame."
He Aspoke about his men and how they Dalways fought so brave
And Ahow they wove their sacred flag though Emany lives they gave
He Astruggled to gain independence Dfor his southern ground
He Astood up for his cause and never Eonce did he back Adown
[Chorus]
And DRobert E. Lee did not like them Anortherners one bit
He was a Drebel and he knew it and he Adidn't give a Eshit
We've been Dtalkin' about Dixie and how Aold times used to F#mbe
And I've been Dsittin' up Adrinkin' with ERobert E. ALee
[Verse 3]
It was Atwo o'clock A.M. and the Dfire was gettin' low
So I Athanked him for our talk 'cause it was Etime for me to go
While Awalkin' to my car, I turned to Dthank him once again
But the Alight was bare, there was nothing there but Erock and dirt and Asand
[Bridge]
F#mWas it my imagination Eplaying with my Ahead?
I F#mremember hearing Aclearly every Esingle word he Asaid
Every F#mmovement, every gesture, every tear tEhat his heart Ashed
His Ddream is still Aalive even Ethough his body's Adead
[Verse 4]
ARobert E. Lee's memory lives Don in the southern soul
AAlong with his boys who fought and Edied out in the cold
ALee was a man with tons of courage and a Dhero without a doubt
He was a Aman with determination, he was a Eman from the Asouth
[Chorus]
And DRobert E. Lee did not like them Anortherners one bit
He was a Drebel and he knew it and he Adidn't give a Eshit
We've been Dtalkin' about Dixie and how Aold times used to F#mbe
And I've been Dsittin' up Adrinkin' with ERobert E. ALee
We've been Dtalkin' about Dixie and how Aold times used to F#mbe
And I've been Dsittin' up Adrinkin' with ERobert E. ALee
