ATakin' a trip in my old Chevy, Dridin' through the southI
Alooked up on a hill and I Esaw a big white houseI
Acaught a glimpse of a bearded man Dpolishing his swordWell,
AI saw Robert E. Lee outside Esittin' on the AporchI
Apulled up in the yard and saw a Dcotton field out backHe
Ainvited me to sit with him and Eshare a fifth of JackHe had
Acriss-cross bars and thirteen stars Dblowing in the windHe said, "
ASave your Confederate money, boy 'cause the Esouth will rise Aagain."And
DRobert E. Lee did not like them Anortherners one bitHe was a
Drebel and he knew it and he Adidn't give a EshitWe've been
Dtalkin' about Dixie and how Aold times used to F#mbe And I've been
Dsittin' up Adrinkin' with ERobert E. ALeeAWe talked about his troops in the Drebel infantryAnd those
Athirteen southern states that Elive in infamyAs he
Atook another swig of his Dblack label whiskeyHe said, "
AThat yankee pride don't mean a Edamn thing to Ame."He
Aspoke about his men and how they Dalways fought so braveAnd
Ahow they wove their sacred flag though Emany lives they gaveHe
Astruggled to gain independence Dfor his southern groundHe
Astood up for his cause and never Eonce did he back AdownAnd
DRobert E. Lee did not like them Anortherners one bitHe was a
Drebel and he knew it and he Adidn't give a EshitWe've been
Dtalkin' about Dixie and how Aold times used to F#mbe And I've been
Dsittin' up Adrinkin' with ERobert E. ALeeIt was
Atwo o'clock A.M. and the Dfire was gettin' lowSo I
Athanked him for our talk 'cause it was Etime for me to goWhile
Awalkin' to my car, I turned to Dthank him once againBut the
Alight was bare, there was nothing there but Erock and dirt and AsandF#mWas it my imagination Eplaying with my Ahead?I
F#mremember hearing Aclearly every Esingle word he AsaidEvery
F#mmovement, every gesture, every tear tEhat his heart AshedHis
Ddream is still Aalive even Ethough his body's AdeadARobert E. Lee's memory lives Don in the southern soulAAlong with his boys who fought and Edied out in the coldALee was a man with tons of courage and a Dhero without a doubtHe was a
Aman with determination, he was a Eman from the AsouthAnd
DRobert E. Lee did not like them Anortherners one bitHe was a
Drebel and he knew it and he Adidn't give a EshitWe've been
Dtalkin' about Dixie and how Aold times used to F#mbe And I've been
Dsittin' up Adrinkin' with ERobert E. ALeeWe've been
Dtalkin' about Dixie and how Aold times used to F#mbe And I've been
Dsittin' up Adrinkin' with ERobert E. ALee
