Down in Alabama

Where the pines meet the shoreline With the Delta summer breeze Where the Spanish moss Is hanging off an old Magnolia tree You can hear the Dixie whippoorwill Her morning song she sings Lay me down in Alabama When you go to bury me Oh, lay me down in Alabama Maybe somewhere 'round Mobile Where the hands of time been left behind Like a dusty cotton field Oh, throw my ashes o'er the causeway Or the Mississippi line Got a past that's beat and battered But my family still resides Oh, lay me down in Alabama Where the pines meet the shoreline With the Delta summer breeze Where the Spanish moss Is hanging off an old Magnolia tree You can hear the Dixie whippoorwill Her morning song she sings Lay me down in Alabama When you go to bury me Oh, lay me down in Alabama Where that tensaw tends to break Give me that old time religion That your spirit just can't shake They say home is where the heart is And Lord, I still believe If it's good enough for Hank Williams Then it's good enough for me Oh, lay me down Where the pines meet the shoreline With the Delta summer breeze Where the Spanish moss Is hanging off an old Magnolia tree You can hear the Dixie whippoorwill Her morning song she sings Lay me down in Alabama When you go to bury me Oh, lay me down in Alabama
