Anderson, Lynn - Dixieland, You Will Never Die Lyrics
The shutters are cracked and dry now
And the roof lets the rain seep in
The old four walls are ready to fall
And the sign reads, "This House Condemned"
When a nation was at war
When mothers prayed for sons that went away
And cried for ones that came back no more
But oh, if this house could talk, Lord
Of Dixieland's final days
Before they tear her down, before she hits the ground
I'll bet this is what she would say
Early on one frosty morn, they raised my timbers and I was born
The mighty oak became my soul, the Delta dawn kept me from the cold
Lord, Lord, look away
I've seen history, Robert E. Lee, and Johnny Reb hold his head up high
They can tear me down, down, down
But Dixieland, you will never die
The garden gate is rusty
And the well's dusty and dry
The magnolia trees are swayin' in the breeze
As if to hang their heads and cry
The ballroom is quiet and empty
Where the bands once used to play
And the battlefields are resting and still
With the ghosts of the blue and the gray
This house has seen it all, Lord
As time kept marching on
But I'll bet these walls can recall
A story all their own
I've seen King Cotton touch the sky, and riverboats floatin' by
On their way to New Orleans
I've bowed with people standin' tall, with their backs pushed up
Against the wall
Getting' by on hopes and dreams
I've seen southern belles
And with their heads held high
They can tear me down, down, down
But Dixieland, you will never die
Dixieland, you will never die

Hey there Brent!...Many, many thank-you"s for filling this request for me!...I haven"t heard this song in 20+ years...ever since I owned the "Lynn Anderson's Greatest Hits Volume 2" LP back when I was a kid...(I remember it was the last song on Side 1) :) ...it's a great song that should've been released as a single in my humble opinion, instead of being the b-side of the also fantastic "Rodeo Cowboy"...brings back some of my most fondest and special memories of growin' up with my sweet grandma...thanks again good buddy!...Take Care!
