An airplane fell down in Dixie

Twenty people was damaged bad
Six crossed over to the other side

When a momma lose a youngin'
There ain't no sadder loss

Laid 'em 'neath a southern cross

I heard a [hoarse?] southern rain
I stood on the ground in England
I heard a [hoarse?] southern rain

Some things never die
Like we're in the Land of Cotton
They tell me that Free Bird always flies
