GCG
I'm gonna go down on the creek bank, gather all my people
CGD
Pitch horseshoes until the sun goes down
GCG
Gonna barbecue my ribs, eat potato salad
CGD
Let the bird dogs run, let the children sing
G
Lord we're gonna get down
Chorus :
CG
Yes, we shall gather down in Dixie
CGD
Where my father and my children's feet have trod
CG
We shall all sing "Hallelujah"
CGDG
I'm American by birth, and Southern by the grace of God
GCG
I'm gonna slip off with my cousin For a little shot of bourbon
CGD
Listen to him stretch the truth for a little while
GCG
I'm gonna sneak up behind my baby
C
And tell her that I love her
GD
I'm gonna lay her down in a hickory sheet
G
And watch my baby smile
Chorus :
CG
Yes, we shall gather down in Dixie
CGD
Where my father and my children's feet have trod
CG
We shall all sing "Hallelujah"
CGDG
I'm American by birth, and Southern by the grace of God
Chorus :
CG
Yes, we shall gather down in Dixie
CGD
Where my father and my children's feet have trod
CG
We shall all sing "Hallelujah"
CGDG
I'm American by birth, and Southern by the grace of God
