D
(Intro)
D
they brought parasols and picnic boxes
C
dressed like they's hunting foxes
D G D
but could nor more fight than fly
D
they thought at Bull Run they'd put us down
C
but that ain't quite what they found
D G D
now here's the reason why
D A D C G D
we're just Southern boys, raising hell right now
D A D C G D
we're just Southern boys, doing well right now
D
they got many more men than us
C
got the arms but not the guts
D G D
they ain't the kind to win
D
we whipped 'em bad at Ball's Bluff
C
at Wilson's Creek - treated 'em rough
D G D
pretty soon they'll give in
D A D C G D
we're just Southern boys, raising hell right now
D A D C G D
we're just Southern boys, doing well right now
G A D
sweet spirit of Dixie - just drives us along
F C G D
like the Mississippi flows - the Southland rolls on and on
D C D G D
D C D G D
(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK)
D
we got horsemen like you've never seen
C
gunmen that shoot so mean
D G D
farm boys with fists of steel
D
we've got the finest generals ever known
C
Jackson stands like a wall of stone
D G D
we won't beg and kneel
D A D C G D
we're just Southern boys, raising hell right now
D A D C G D
we're just Southern boys, doing well right now
D A D C G D
we're just Southern boys, raising hell right now
D A D C G D
we're just Southern boys, doing well right now
D A D C G D
we're just Southern boys, raising hell right now
