Whistlin’ Dixie

Randy Sparks

[Chorus]
Possum up a gumtree, sugar in the corn
Tell you what's gonna be, sure as you're born
I ain't just a whistlin' Dixie
We're gonna have a jubilation down south

[Verse 1]
Way down yonder in the cotton field
Used to work all the day long
When I was just a little babe, my mamma rocked me in the cradle
And she always sing this song

[Chorus]
Possum up a gumtree, sugar in the corn
Tell you what's gonna be, sure as you're born
I ain't just a whistlin' Dixie
We're gonna have a jubilation down south

[Verse 2]
Some folks born just to sit around
Yeah, life's kinda funny that way
I was born to pick the cotton, but I sure ain't forgotten
Every dog's gonna have his day
Hear me singing this

[Chorus]
Possum up a gumtree, sugar in the corn
Tell you what's gonna be, sure as you're born
I ain't just a whistlin' Dixie
We're gonna have a jubilation down south

[Verse 3]
Well, right away soon, it won't be very long
I'm gonna lay down all of my cares
And the bells'll be a-ringing and the angels a-singing
And we climb up the golden stairs
Oh, hear us singing this

[Chorus]
Possum up a gumtree, sugar in the corn
Tell you what's gonna be, sure as you're born
I ain't just a whistlin' Dixie
We're gonna have a jubilation
A mighty celebration
Have a jubilation down
Way down south
South!
