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 seemMahalia Jackson - Calvary - http://motolyrics.com/mahalia-jackson/calvary-lyrics.html

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
