Rhonda Vincent - I Sang Dixie Lyrics






I sang Dixie as he died
The people just walked on by as I cried
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride
So I sang Dixie as he died

He said way down yonder in the land of cotton
Old times there ain't near as rotten as they are
On this damned old LA street
Then he drew a dying breath and laid his head against my chest
Please Lord take his soul back home to Dixie

I sang Dixie as he died
People just walked on by as I cried
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride
So I sang Dixie as he died

He said listen to me girl while you still can
Run back home to that southern land
Don't you see what life here has done to me
Then he closed those old blue eyes and fell limp against my side
No more pain now he's safe back home in Dixie

I sang Dixie as he died
People just walked on by as I cried
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride
I sang Dixie as he died
I sang Dixie as he died

    Miss Rhonda- the best there is.🎻

    Wish she would get rid of the bleach, but I reckon it's OK. I would still love her if she had no hair at all.

    This lovely lady is pure class. She is as unpretentious and sweet as she is talented. We have been fortunate enough to see her at a couple of bluegrass festivals, where she puts her heart and soul into every performance. Afterwards she and her group, the Rage, always do a meet and greet, until the last fan is gone. Great folks, worth the miles traveled to see them!

  19. L.... A....

    Robert Boyd if you don't know who Rhonda Vincent is you must not know much about country or bluegrass music she is the most awarded Bluegrass singer in America and just this week the Missouri legislature voted to rename part of highway 63 that runs through her home town and will be known as bluegrass queen Rhonda Vincent highway and she did win a Grammy in 2017

    R.... B....

  29. T.... ....

    My first visit to LA I remember seeing people driving Bentlys You g kids in BMW s then a man sitting with a sign round his neck that said " will work for food". There but for the grace of God. This song says it all.

  30. A.... L....

    She sounds so angelic......luv you Rhonda.

  31. C.... ....

    A PRICELESS rendition of one POWERFUL song ! No one could sing this GREAT tune better than Rhonda !

  32. y.... ....

    Competent cover, but I still like Dwight's better; his is more emotional, at least to my ears.  Still like this enough to put it on my playlist.

    y.... ....

    +yvwic50 Its Dwight's song. She is good, but he owns it

    y.... ....

    yvwic50 sorry have to disagree I think Rhonda Put's more emotion in the song than Dwight did but like his Verizon just not as well

    y.... ....

    yvwic50
    AGREED. I love Rhonda. But I lean toward Dwights version.

  33. C.... K....

    Awesome!

  34. 1.... ....

    rhonda can make ant song sound good

  35. J.... S....

    ist das schön

  36. C.... ....

    I had never heard this INCREDIBLE song until I discovered it by chance on Youtube. The lovely and talented Rhonda Vincent does it so much justice. I have been a BIG fan of hers since I first saw her perform on Music City Tonight back in 1994 ? This performance is as great as anything she has ever done !

  37. M.... ....

    I agree Chuck....this yankee feels it also.....

  38. C.... B....

    Great job.....from a Yankee fan....love it

  39. s.... ....

    very well done rhonda! Im proud to be here in dixie , hope our country can work together to become strong no matter where you live! ye ha!~

  41. R.... H....

    The one dislike must be a L.A. Thug! This music is legendary! LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE

  42. S.... ....

    Along with all the other songs on this album of covers, produced as a revenue generator for charity.

  43. S.... ....

    Brent was 9 years old when this song was recorded, and although he had been learning and practicing the dobro for 4 years, Marty Rifkin is the player on this song. Lord willling, I will be listening to Brent play the evening of October 19th, as Rhonda brings The Rage to the free Bloomin' Bluegrass Festival at Farmers Branch, Texas.

  44. R.... s....

    Is that Brent Burke on the dobro ???? Brent is a great dobro player.. Will be as good as Jerry Douglas.. Look for that name.

  45. l.... ....

    Great Great Great

  46. W.... F....

    great song and i think that may be george bush in the video

  47. M.... ....

    Great song !!!! But You can never take away rebel pride. Bottle or not. Rhonda is a very very pretty women. She looksA like the german :Nena. Very good voice. So go on.
    I like the music

  48. B.... ....

    Love the 'old school' Rhonda Vincent. Good song!

  49. j.... ....

    i have been a dwight fan for years but this performance, blows dwight out of his boots

  50. R.... S....

    IMHO... she sings this song like it was hers... Rhonda is the BEST! gave me chills!

  51. J.... M....

    I like Rhodna a lot but dwight gave thsi song the correct versing why would she do that to this song? she is far better than this version lets her be.

  52. C.... .....
