Calvary Lyrics - Mahalia Jackson

Down south where the air is wet 

The red day rules and you can bet 

It makes me proud, I'll never forget 

My Dixieland 

Fulton County Georgia, that's where I was born 

With a fire in my tail and a devil's horn 

Daddy never listened to my mother's scorn 

He loved to play it loud and he played it loud 

Look away Dixieland 

'Cause we're a rock n' roll rebel Dixie band 

Look away Dixieland

I lost a lot of time ten years to the day 

I lost a lot of time trying to find my way 

If I make it back home, I'll be okay 

With ice tea wishes and corn bread dream 

It keeps me going or so it would seem 

I keep it up, never let up steam 

I sing it loud and proud, loud and proud 

Look away Dixieland 

'Cause we're a rock n' roll rebel Dixie band 

Look away Dixieland, look away Dixieland 

And when the day comes around that my music's gone 

Don't leave me here and don't leave me alone 

Just take me back home with the boys in the band 

We'll start it back up in Dixieland

So look away Dixieland, look away Dixieland, look away 

Look away Dixieland
