Mahalia Jackson - Calvary lyrics

Down south where the air is wet The red day rules and you can bet It makes me proud, I'll never forget My Dixieland Fulton County Georgia, that's where I was born With a fire in my tail and a devil's horn Daddy never listened to my mother's scorn He loved to play it loud and he played it loud Look away Dixieland 'Cause we're a rock n' roll rebel Dixie band Look away Dixieland I lost a lot of time ten years to the day I lost a lot of time trying to find my way If I make it back home, I'll be okay With ice tea wishes and corn bread dream It keeps me going or so it would seem I keep it up, never let up steam I sing it loud and proud, loud and proud Look away Dixieland 'Cause we're a rock n' roll rebel Dixie band Look away Dixieland, look away Dixieland And when the day comes around that my music's gone Don't leave me here and don't leave me alone Just take me back home with the boys in the band We'll start it back up in Dixieland Look away Dixieland 'Cause we're a rock n' roll rebel Dixie band Look away Dixieland, look away 'Cause we're a rock n' roll rebel stomp our way outta hand So look away Dixieland, look away Dixieland, look away Look away Dixieland
