You Aint Just Whistlin Dixie

Biography:

The Bellamy Brothers started their musical career at the end of the 1960s. In 1968, they had their first official gig, playing a free show with their father at the Rattlesnake Roundup in San Antonio, Florida, USA. They kept playing throughout the South, often with already recognized musicians, such as Percy Sledge, Eddie Floyd and others. A couple of months later, the brothers moved up north, discovering the potentials of rock/country music in Atlanta, Georgia.

Bellamy Brothers?You Ain't Just Whistlin' Dixie

Verse 1:

A D E
Pine trees grow so tall in the bright sunshine
D E A
A young boy steals his daddy's fishin' line
A D E
An alligator lays on the banks of a riverbed
D E
And if you didn't know any better
A
You'd swear he's dead

Chorus:
Bm E A
Now these are a few things I'm in love with
Bm E A
A small part of the reason I go back
Bm E A
To Carolina Mississsippi Florida gorgeous Georgia
Bm E
Now if you think I'm happy down there
A
You're on the right track
D E
And you ain't just whistlin Dixie
A D
You ain't just slappin your knee
D E
I'm a grandson of the Southland
A A7
An heir to the Confederacy
D E
You ain't just whistlin Dixie
A D
?Cause the cattle call's callin' me home
D E
So put me down there where I wanna be
D E
Plant my feet with Robert E. Lee
D E
Bury my bones under a cypress tree
D C#m E A
And never let me roam

Verse 2:

A D E
Cotton balls gleam and the cow gives cream for the baby's sake
D E A
Pa comes in full of gin and he's mean as a rattlesnake
A D E
And if the well runs dry and we cry and cuss the garden hose
D E A
Mama draws a bucket full of creek water just to wash our clothes

(Chorus)
