South Side Of Dixie
You know Im about to lose my mind
I got a woman down below the mason-dixon line
She deals the cards awful good to me
Shes a blackjack dealer on the delta queen
Chorus:
On the south side of dixie
From savannah georgia down to new orleans
On the south side of dixie
Women there they dont treat you mean
On the south side of dixie
A side of the south you aint never seen
Half a tank north of birmingham
Red eye gravy and country ham
Chattanooga woman sure is sweet
Shes a hillbilly singer from tennessee
Repeat chorus
If you go down south, youre gonna have a ball
Youll go half crazy tryin to love em all
You might get lucky, you cant never tell
With them georgia peaches and them southern belles
Repeat chorus

When It All Goes South
(John Jarvis )
Itll creep up on you like a kudzu vine
Even miles above the Mason-Dixon line
Til one day youre craving hominy grits
And scanning the jukebox for George Jones hits
Drinkin Jack Black tryin to kick back
'til the condos looking like a shotgun shack
youll be one of us no matter where youre at
When it all goes south
When it all goes south
Youll be drivin around on a John Deere tractor
When it all goes south
Wearing baseball caps but they wont be backwards
When it all goes south
It really dont matter what state youre in
Someday the souths gonna rise again
Theres a Wall Street wonderboy
Sittin up north
Throwing darts like a monkey at a stock report
Got two homes, car loans, in debt
And his third divorce aint even final yet
Traded his MBA for a SUV
on a backwoods road in Tennessee
Cause Manhattan aint the place to be
When it all goes south
When it all goes south
With the live oak trees and the sweet magnolias
When it all goes south
Eatin moon pies , drinking RC colas
When it all goes south
It really dont matter what state youre in
One day the souths gonna rise again
Vicksburg, Birmingham, Natchez and Savannah, Panama City
Yall sure look pretty in the sunshine
Getting dixiefried
Get yourself some rebel pride
When it all goes south
Where the fogs as thick as Mississippi mud
When it all goes south
Youll be singing the blues cause its in your blood
It really dont matter what state youre in
Someday the souths gonna rise again
When it all goes south

South Of Heaven
(gary rossington, johnny van-zant, robert johnson, michael lunn)
Theres a honky-tonk just south of georgia
A little salvation just a waitin for ya
I heard it said a long time ago
If your lookin for your soul
Down a dirt road just across the border
Well the harder it comes you know the easier it goes
If you can make your way a little further down that road, yea
When your caught up in between
Or just dyin to be set free
(chorus)
South of heaven
Always endin up
No matter how I try
Im just south of heaven
Dont wanna think you can have it all
cause all I need is just south of heaven
Theres a little girl they call the sweet thing
Been some time Id like to tell you one thing
You have nothin left to lose
So by the time that you come to
Youll be one more callin her name
Well the harder it comes you know the easier it goes
If you can make your way a little further down that road, yea
When your caught up in between
Or just dyin to be set free
(repeat chorus)
(repeat first verse)
(repeat chorus)
And when I die dont cry for me
cause Ill be just south of heaven
South of heaven
All I want, all I need, all I want
Is south of heaven

Away Down South In The Land of Traitors
Away down South in the land of traitors,
Rattlesnakes and alligators,
Right away, come away, right away, come away.
Where cotton's king and men are chattels,
Union boys will win the battles,
Right away, come away, right away, come away.
Then we'll all go down to Dixie,
Away, away,
Each Dixie boy must understand,
That he must mind his Uncle Sam,
Away, away,
And we'll all go down to Dixie.
Away, away,
And we'll all go down to Dixie.
I wish I was in Baltimore,
I'd make Secession traitors roar,
Right away, come away, right away, come away.
We'll put the traitors all to rout,
I'll bet my boots we'll whip them out,
Right away, come away, right away, come away.
Then they'll wish they were in Dixie,
Away, away,
Each Dixie boy must understand,
That he must mind his Uncle Sam,
Away, away,
And we'll all go down to Dixie.
Away, away,
And we'll all go down to Dixie.
Oh, may our Stars and Stripes still wave
Forever o'er the free and brave,
Right away, come away, right away, come away.
And let our motto ever be -
'For Union and for Liberty!'
Right away, come away, right away, come away.
Then we'll all go down to Dixie,
Away, away,
Each Dixie boy must understand,
That he must mind his Uncle Sam,
Away, away,
And we'll all go down to Dixie.
Away, away,
And we'll all go down to Dixie.

Saying you've been here too long
Singing that same ol song
Got to get it on

Music in the streets
Flowers smelling sweet
Something I can get so close to

Singing songs

Southern Women
(g.& d. rossington, j. van zant, e. king)
Im the kind of man that loves all the girls
From debutantes to honky-tonk queens
Ive tasted every brand all around the world
But all I see are peaches in my dreams
Im talkin bout, Im talkin bout them southern women
Its a well known fact across the dixie line
And if a man dont agree I can tell you hes blind
They can drink with the best and the hell with the rest
And if she takes you home you aint gettin no rest

Im talkin bout, Im talkin bout them southern women
Im talkin bout theyll love you so slow them southern women

Little Girl in Georgia
Vs.1 I was born and raised in the South,
By my momma and my daddy with a little loud mouth.
And my little brother always had to tag along,
So that's when I sat down and started writin' these songs.
(chorus)
Just a little girl in Georgia,
With a big head full of ideas,
And I have always heard that
Home is where the heart is.
Lord, please help me if I have to move to California,
'Cause I wanna stay as a little girl in Georgia.
Vs.2 If anything, I will move to Tennessee,
And make sure to marry somebody who's taller than me.
That doesn't really matter just as long as he cares,
Man, it's hard to find guys like those these days, I swear.
(chorus)
(instrumental)
Bridge: And if he breaks my heart,
You'll know where to find me.
The good Lord knows
It ain't Tennessee...
(chorus) x 2
No, I'm never movin' to California,
'Cause I'm always gonna be a little girl in Georgia.
Yeah, I'm always gonna be-
from Georgia!

If It Ain't Dixie
Oh I love those Colorado Rockies
And that big starry Montana sky
And the lights of San Francisco
On a California night
Enjoyed those ballgames in Chicago
On those windy afternoons
Its a big beautiful country
But Im never home too soon
If it aint Dixie, it wont do
If it aint Dixie it dont feel quite like home
My southern blood runs deep and true
Ive had good times
North of the line
Ive got a lot of good friends too
But if it aint Dixie, it wont do
It wont do
When the leaves turn in New England
I love the chill thats in the air
Ive walked the New York City sidewalks
Had a big time in Times Square
But now my wheels are rollin southward
And heavens comin into view
Home-sweet-home is Alabama
Thats what I look forward to
If it aint Dixie it dont feel quite like home
My southern blood runs deep and true
Ive had good times
North of the line
Ive got a lot of good friends too
If it aint Dixie, it wont do
It wont do
If it aint Dixie
Oh no, Oh no-whoah
Now my wheels are rollin southward
And heavens comin into view
Home-sweet-home is Alabama
Thats what I look forward to
Yall come to Dixie

John Cornstalk
Jack Cornstalk lives in the Southern Land—
What says Cornstalk John?
Jack Cornstalk says in a loud firm voice:
“Land of the South, lead on.”
CHORUS:
Land of the South, lead on, lead on,
Land of the South, lead on!
Land of the South, lead on, lead on,
Lead on, Land of the South!
John Bull lays claim to the Southern Land.

“The Land of the South is mine!”

In the pioneering band;
By the hardships of those early days,
I claim the Southern Land!”
Land of the South, lead on, lead on,
Land of the South, lead on!
Land of the South, lead on, lead on,
Lead on, Land of the South!
But where shall the Land of the South lead to?
Where lead the nation’s van?
Jack Cornstalk cries from his strong young heart:
“To the Dynasty of Man.”
Land of the South, lead on, lead on,
Land of the South, lead on!

I'm gonna take the South out of South Africa
I'm gonna take the South out of South Africa
the home of the slaves
and the land of no freedom
I'm gonna take the south out of South Africa
where George Wallace stood
on the University steps
and said no blacks
no blacks shall enter here
except over my dead
and crippled body
I'm gonna take the South out of South Africa
where separate but equal means
that blacks lived in the homelands
and not in their homes
I'm gonna take the South out of South Africa
where Jim Crow laws
have tried to change their colors
but it's still the same old shackles
call Apartheid
I'm gonna take the South out of South Africa
where young people are detained
...without trials
...without lawyers
...without rights
but never
... without hope
I'm gonna take the South out of South Africa

Civil War- Still Alive
I see the rebel flag
flyin' high in the air.
For the south's still fightin' the civil war
most everywhere.
The heart of Dixie
is still ensconced
in bigotry and inequality.
It inflames my senses and sensibility.
Sure there are sweet magnolias
and southern hospitality.
But right up the street from that
lives inherited bigotry.
They live side by side
and try their best to hide
built up resentment from so long ago.
Will they ever take those flags down
or continue with the old banjo
playin' songs for the white as snow?

Santa Rosa
Hack jaws and hellions dont you step on my zs
Im gettin rather ornery bout my natural means
Ill I want is a small piece of the pie
A place in the sun to comfort my eyes
North of l.a. just south of monterey
To santa rosa
Im gonna break away
Blue grass and the sycamores and the sweet eucalyptas in the air
Mad dogs and wolf hounds running everywhere
You can go with the flow you can bend in the breeze
Just step to one side and then play the black keys
North of l.a. just south of santa jose
To santa rosa
Im gonna do what is right to make a better life
Before its over
Im gonna break away
Angels and lucifer dont you step on my ground
Ive got a good god-fearing woman who might just shoot you down
I love her and she loves me
Together well raise such a sweet family
North of l.a. just south of monterey
To santa rosa
Im gonna do what I can to get the sea and sand
Back on my shoulder
Im gonna sail away

The Other Side
So, youre at the end of your wits
The end of your rope
You just cant fix
Everything thats broke
Got to turn it loose, babe
Hey, just let it ride
Cause it aint about pride now
Well, it aint about guilt
Youve just come to a bridge
That you still aint built
Sit down here with me
Ill tell you about the other side
(chorus)
The other side of loneliness
The other side of the blues
There really is a place like this
Where the sun is gonna shine for you
Youll feel that old restlessness
Your tears have all been cried
Youll find your way over this
And youll make it to the other side
Life gets hard
Life gets cold
No matter who you are
Gonna settle on your soul
There comes a time
When you go looking for a place to hide
But one of these days
Youre gonna lift up your head
Whistle up those hell hounds of yours
And make them sit up and beg
Thats when youll be ready
Ready for the other side

Song Of The South
Written by bob mcdill
Chorus
Song, song of the south.
Sweet potato pie and I shut my mouth.
Gone, gone with the wind.
There aint nobody looking back again.
Cotton on the roadside, cotton in the ditch.
We all picked the cotton but we never got rich.
Daddy was a veteran, a southern democrat.
They oughta get a rich man to vote like that.
Sing it...
Chorus
Well somebody told us wall street fell
But we were so poor that we couldnt tell.
Cotton was short and the weeds were tall
But mr. roosevelts a gonna save us all.
Well momma got sick and daddy got down.
The county got the farm and they moved to town.
Pappa got a job with the tva
He bought a washing machine and then a chevrolet.
Sing it...
Chorus
Play it...
Sing it...

Song, song of the south...

Dont Cross The River
Theres a little girl
Out lying on her own
Shes got a broken heart
Shes not the kind
You take down for long
She knows and
Plays it smart
And if shes coming
Shes shown no more
Shes heard no whistle
Blowing from the door
She feels like leaving and
She dont know why
Without no bridges
Shes trapped
So I sigh
[chorus:]
Dont cross the river
If you cant swim the tide
Dont try denying
Living on the other side
All your life you were
On your own
If you want
You can ride my train
Soon forget the reason
That youre leaving
Lose yourself and
Then sometimes
Maybe even save yourself
Some grieving
[repeat chorus]

Black Pearl
Deep down in Mississippi
I found a sweet delta blue
She weaved a little southern spell on me
Made a little voodoo
She was born the bright side of midnight
When her mama was seventeen
She was a hot blooded - god fearin' - gospel girl
The finest that I ever seen
Chorus
She's black coffee - little bit 'o cream
Sweet brown sugar - my midnight dream
Black pearl - my kinda girl
Just the kind of thing to rock my world
Black pearl - my kinda girl
Met her in a dixie diner
Put on the southern hospitality
I can still smell her sweet molasses
Running all over me
We started rollin' like the river
Like a twister tearin' through the town
Tongue tied - satisfied - 'n southern fried
As she drove this ol' dixie down

Yeah she's alright - yeah she's ok
makin' love night - she really made my day

Lady Evil
Theres a place just south of witches valley
Where they say the wind wont blow
And they only speak in whispers of a name
Theres a lady they say who feeds the darkness
It eats right from her hand
With a crying shout shell search you out
And freeze you where you stand
Lady evil, evil
Shes a magical, mystical woman
Lady evil, evil in my mind
Shes queen of the night
All right!
In a place just south of witches valley
Where they say the rain wont fall
Thunder cracks the sky, it makes you bleed
Theres a lady they say who needs the darkness
She cant face the light
With an awful shout, shell find you out
And have you before the night
Lady evil, evil
Shes a magical, mystical woman
Lady evil, evil on my mind
Shes queen of the night
So if you ever get to witches valley
Dont dream or close your eyes
And never trust your shadow in the dark
cause theres a lady I know who takes your vision
And turns it all around
The things you see are what youll be, lost and never found
Lady evil, evil
Shes a magical, mystical woman
Lady evil, evil on my mind
Shes queen of the night
Gonna do you right!
Shes the queen of sin
Look out, shell pull you in!
