The People Lyrics
Written By: The Music hey Monday morning, See what you're missing, I can't live my life like this boy, I said hey little lady, see what you

I wanna go back to Dixie,
Take me back to dear ol' Dixie,
That's the only li'l ol' place for li'l ol' me.
Ol' times there are not forgotten,
Whuppin' slaves and pickin' cotton,
And waitin' for the Robert E. Lee.
(It was never there on time.)
I'll go back to the Swanee,
Where pellagra makes you scrawny
I Wonder Why Lyrics
For the love of man Who could understand What goes on What is right and what is wrong Why the angels cry And the heaven's sigh When
,
And the Honeysuckle clutters up the vine
I really am a-fixin'
To go home and start a-mixin'
Down below that Mason-Dixon line.

Oh, poll tax, how I love ya, how I love ya,

I wanna be a dixie pixie
And eat cornpone 'til it's comin' outta my ears

again,
I ain't seen one good lynchin' in years.
The land of the boll weevil,
Where the laws are medieval,
Is callin' me to come and evermore roam.
I wanna go back to the Southland,
That "y'all" and "shet-ma-mouth" land,
Be it ever so decadent,
There's no place like home.
