D              G                 D 
Grandpa I been thinkin’ bout you lately  
D                  G                   A 
Wonderin’ if you’d found your peace of mind 
  D              G                  D          
I guess you’d 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 I’d give my life to find the freedom 
G                E7                A 
Lost within the old songs that you sung.
