Charlie DanielsE A EWell there's a peach tree on a hill in northern GeorgiaG EWhere a teenage boy sits staring at the ground.A ESoon he'll leave to join the rebel soldiersG B Efor the Cumberland and Nashville he is bound.He goes down to ride with the Bedford Forrest Calv'ryHe can shoot a man at a hunnert yards or moreBut he knows he's just like any other soldier.If they spill his blood he'll never ride no more.Chorus:Don't you know I'm just a lonesome boy from Dixie.Help me Lord, I feel so all alone.Don't you know I'm a lonesome boy from Dixie.Gone to war and I just want to get home.When the battle started the rebels were outnumberedThey shot his leg with an angry cannonballThe medic came and said "we'll all be luckyIf the boy from Georgia makes it home at all".Chorus:Well there's a peach tree on a hill in northern GeorgiaWhere a horse stands like a statue made of stone.Flowers bless a grave down in the meadow.Now the lonesome boy from Dixie made it home.
