Grandpa I've been thinking bout you lately
BbC7
Wondering if you'd found your peace of mind
FBbF
I bet you'd be proud to know your grandsons
BbC7
Never crossed that Mason Dixon line
BbC7F
And I still sing the old songs that you taught me
BbC7F
And I still pray to Jesus now and then
BbC7F
And just like you I wish that He would save me
BbC7
To see the day the south will rise again
FBbF
Daddy wore his Purple Heart so proudly
BbC7
Long before he turned into a man
FBbF
Buried with our flag across his casket
BbC7
I was still too young to understand
BbC7F
And I still sing the old songs that you taught me
BbC7F
And I still pray to Jesus now and then
BbC7F
And just like you I wish that He would save me
BbC7
To see the day the south will rise again
FBbF
Mama spent her last years in the garden
BbC7
While brother took his turn behind the gun
FBbF
Lord I'd give my life to find the freedom
BbC7
Lost within the old songs that you sung
BbC7F
And I still sing the old songs that you taught me
BbC7F
And I still pray to Jesus now and then
BbC7F
And just like you I wish that He would save me
BbC7
To see the day the south will rise again
