Rhyme Scheme: AABA ACDC AAEA

Way Down South in DixieA
Break the heart of meA
They hung my black young loverB
To a cross roads treeA
-
Way Down South in DixieA
Bruised body high in airC
I asked the white Lord JesusD
What was the use of prayerC
-
Way Down South in DixieA
Break the heart of meA
Love is a naked shadowE
On a gnarled and naked treeA
