Plantation Song

What does it mean to be from this country
 Would take their brother man
 Bind him in slavery
 And be willing to die
 Before they'd set him free?
 Still I'm proud to be from Dixie
 My great-grandfather called this land his home
 He was a God-fearing man
 He was my flesh and bone
 Yet he took this man's father
 And called him his own
 'Cause that's how it was in Dixie
 Plantation song
 You could sing 'em all night long
 But don't say it's got nothing to do with you
 'Cause I know you're from Dixie too
 And there are still those who don't understand this
 When you see a man go
 And raise up his fist
 He's trying to reach past
 The shackles on his wrist
 And that don't go on just in Dixie
 Plantation song
 You can sing 'em all night long
 But don't say it's got nothing to do with you
 'Cause I know you're from Dixie too
 We're all from Dixie too
