D G D
Grandpa I been thinkin bout you lately
D G A
Wonderin if youd found your peace of mind
D G D
I guess youd be proud to know your grandsons
G E7 A
Never crossed that Mason Dixon Line.

Chorus:
G A D
And I Still Sing The Old Songs That you taught me
G A D
And I still pray to Jesus now and then
G A D
And just like you I wish that he will save me
G E7 A
To see the day the South will rise again.

D G D
Daddy wore his purple heart so proudly
D G A
Long before I turned into a man
D G D
Buried with our flag acrossed his casket
G E7 A
I was still too young to understand.

Chorus:

D G D
Momma spent her last years in the garden
D G A
While I took my turn behind the gun
D G D
Lord Id give my life to find the freedom
G E7 A
Lost within the old songs that you sung.
