Plantation Song Songtext
What does it mean to be from this country
Would take their brother man
Bind him in slavery
And be willing to die
Before they′d set him free?
Still I'm proud to be from Dixie
My great-grandfather called this land his home
He was a God-fearing man
He was my flesh and bone
Yet he took this man′s father
And called him his own
'Cause that's how it was in Dixie
Plantation song
You could sing ′em all night long
But don′t say it's got nothing to do with you
′Cause I know you're from Dixie too
And there are still those who don′t understand this
When you see a man go
And raise up his fist
He's trying to reach past
The shackles on his wrist
And that don′t go on just in Dixie
Plantation song
You can sing 'em all night long
But don't say it′s got nothing to do with you
′Cause I know you're from Dixie too
We′re all from Dixie too
Would take their brother man
Bind him in slavery
And be willing to die
Before they′d set him free?
Still I'm proud to be from Dixie
My great-grandfather called this land his home
He was a God-fearing man
He was my flesh and bone
Yet he took this man′s father
And called him his own
'Cause that's how it was in Dixie
Plantation song
You could sing ′em all night long
But don′t say it's got nothing to do with you
′Cause I know you're from Dixie too
And there are still those who don′t understand this
When you see a man go
And raise up his fist
He's trying to reach past
The shackles on his wrist
And that don′t go on just in Dixie
Plantation song
You can sing 'em all night long
But don't say it′s got nothing to do with you
′Cause I know you're from Dixie too
We′re all from Dixie too
