Airplane Fell Down in Dixie

 

 

 

An airplane fell down in Dixie lord how the people cried

An airplane fell down in Dixie, lord how the people cried

20 people was damaged bad, 6 crossed over to the other side

 

When a mama lose a young’n, ain’t no sadder loss

When a mama lose a young’n, ain’t no sadder loss

Was baptized in the name of Jesus, lay’em neath a Southern Cross

 

I stood on the ground in England, and heard a hard southern reign

Stood on the ground in England …heard a hard southern rain

Got a taste of bourbon whiskey and Mr. JJ Cales’ cocaine

 

Now nobody lives forever, some things never die

Nobody lives forever some things never die

Like way down in the land of cotton, they tell me a free bird will always fly
