Dixie, Now You're Done - Lyrics - Waylon Jennings
Waylon Arnold Jennings was an American singer, songwriter, musician and actor. Jennings began playing guitar at 8 and began performing at 12 on KVOW radio. His first band was The Texas Longhorns. Jennings worked as a D.J. on KVOW, KDAV, KYTI, and KLLL. In 1958, Buddy Holly arranged Jennings's first recording session, of âJole Blonâ and âWhen Sin Stops .â Holly hired him to play bass. In Clear Lake, Iowa, Jennings gave up his seat on the ill-fated flight that killed Holly and others to J. P. Richardson, who was suffering from a cold. The day of the flight was later known as The Day the Music Died. Jennings then worked as a D.J. in Coolidge, Arizona, and Phoenix. He formed a rockabilly club band, The Waylors. He recorded for independent label Trend Records and A&M Records, before succeeding with RCA Victor after achieving creative control.

Oh Dixie, hang your head and cry
You have seen so many children die
You had courage and you had pride
But the Union could never see your side
At all, oh, oh, oh not at all
Oh Dixie, now the land is scarred
The States are bleeding, they're wounded and marred
Mister Lincoln isn't here to lend a hand
Now he's gone - and bitter hate rules the land
You're done, oh, oh, oh Dixie, you're done
Oh Dixie, oh Dixie, now you're done
Oh Dixie, oh Dixie, now you're done
Oh Dixie, oh Dixie, now you're done
Oh Dixie, oh Dixie, now you're done
Oh Dixie, oh Dixie, now you're done
Oh Dixie, oh Dixie, now you're done
Oh Dixie, oh Dixie, now you're done
