American By Birth

G                                 
I'm gonna go down on the creek 
    C             G
bank, gather all my people
C                          G     
Pitch horseshoes until the sun 
     D
goes down
G                        C       
Gonna barbecue my ribs, eat 
    G
potato salad
C                       G   
Let the bird dogs run, let the 
             D
children sing
                      G
Lord we're gonna get down

[Chorus]
     C                        G
Yes, we shall gather down in Dixie
           C                     
Where my father and my children's 
  G          D
feet have trod
         C          G
We shall all sing "Hallelujah"

     C            G          D   
I'm American by birth, and 
                    G
Southern by the grace of God

[Verse]
G                                 
I'm gonna slip off with my cousin 
      C               G
For a little shot of bourbon
C                          G     
Listen to him stretch the truth 
              D
for a little while
G                   C         G
I'm gonna sneak up behind my baby
     C
And tell her that I love her
           G                  D
I'm gonna lay her down in a hickory 
sheet
                   G
And watch my baby smile

[Chorus]
     C                        G
Yes, we shall gather down in Dixie
           C                     
Where my father and my children's 
  G          D
feet have trod
         C          G
We shall all sing "Hallelujah"
     C            G          D   
I'm American by birth, and 
                    G
Southern by the grace of God

[Chorus]
     C                        G
Yes, we shall gather down in Dixie
           C                     
Where my father and my children's 
  G          D
feet have trod
         C          G
We shall all sing "Hallelujah"
     C            G          D   
I'm American by birth, and
