Langston, Ricky Ian Gordon

Way Down South in Dixie
(Break the heart of me)
They hung my black young lover
To a cross roads tree

Way Down South in Dixie
(Bruised body high in air)
I asked the white Lord Jesus
What was the use of prayer

Way Down South in Dixie
(Break the heart of me)
Love is a naked shadow
On a gnarled and naked tree
