When I
A 
D 
was just a little boy,
F# 
away across the sea,
B 
A 
I  heard a lot of pretty songs
B 
at my mother's knee.
E 
A 
And there was only one place I wanted to be,
D 
G 
D 
A 
in Dixie, way down south.
D 
I wanted to be a dockey,
F# 
makin' music all the day,
B 
F#m 
didn't wanna be a white folk,
B 
cause they don't know how to play.
E 
A 
D 
But Australia seems like a  long way away from Dixie,
G 
D 
way down south
So I'd sing Mammy
G 
and get down on one knee
C 
And dream that Alabama
F 
was the only place for me
B 
Em 
B 
My heart was breakin'
Em 
cause on some distant shore
B 
E 
Folks  were eatin' possum
A 
A 
till they couldn't eat no more
D 
But now that I've been down there,
F# 
I   got a big surprise
B 
F#m 
No magnolias blos  somed there
Bm 
B 
before my  very eyes
E 
And  I'd like to know
A 
who made up all those goddamn lies
