Way Down South in Dixie / (Break the heart of me)
They hung my black young lover / To a cross roads tree.
Way Down South in Dixie / (Bruised body high in air)
I asked the white Lord Jesus / What was the use of prayer.
Way Down South in Dixie / (Break the heart of me)
Love is a naked shadow / On a gnarled and naked tree.
