I Still Sing the Old Songs

I Still Sing the Old Songs - David Allan Coe

Grandpa I've been thinking about you lately

Wondering If you'd found peace of mind

I guess you'd be proud to know your grandsons

Never crossed that mason-dixon line

And I still sing the old songs that you taught me

And I still pray to jesus now and then

And just like you I wish that he would save me

To see the day the south will rise again

Daddy wore his purple heart so proudly

Long before I turned Into a man

Buried with our flag across his casket

I was still too young to understand

And I still sing the old songs that you taught me

And I still pray to jesus now and then

And just like you I wish that he would save me

To see the day the south will rise again

Mama spent her last years In the garden

While I took my turn behind the gun

Lord I'd give my life to find the freedom

Lost within the old songs that you sung

And I still sing the old songs that you taught me

And I still pray to jesus now and then

And just like you I wish that he would save me

To see the day the south will rise again
