Charlie Daniels Band, The - Lonesome Boy From Dixie Lyrics
Well there's a peach tree on a hill in northern Georgia
Where a teenage boy sits staring at the ground.
Soon he'll leave to join the rebel soldiers
for the Cumberland and Nashville he is bound.
He can shoot a man at a hunnert yards or more
But he knows he's just like any other soldier.
If they spill his blood he'll never ride no more.
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 outnumbered
The medic came and said "we'll all be lucky
If the boy from Georgia makes it home at all".
[Chorus]
Well there's a peach tree on a hill in northern Georgia
Where 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.
[Chorus]

This song should remind us why all the Civil War monuments need to remain in place.
damn right
I love CDB!!! This song is my FAVORITE of all their great tunes!!!!
Not one one derogatory remark here ?? AHHHH !
This song sounds a hole heckuva lot better on vinyl.......
P.S., I also agree, this song should have been a huge hit
If you want to hear authentic vinyl sound just rub your CD in the sand and put in and you will have vinyl sound
My fave track from this album.
The lyrics in this song paints a perfect picture of the civil war. This is my favorite CDB album.
I'd bought this in one of those "10 albums for a penny" deals.I met Charlie Daniels in Guantanamo Bay Cuba of all places when he came down for a USO tour and he signed my "Decade of Hits" tape label.
I kept those tapes and others until 2005 when some bat rastard broke in and stole my guns and tape case,appearently thinking that it was another gun case.
One of Tommy Crain's best.
Gimme some of that good ole swampy boogie woogie dixieland blues!
Tommy Crain. Was a great guitar player as well as about everything else with strings. R.I.P. Tommy
