Fraggle Rock - Dixie Wailin

this is that amazing dixie funeral dirge from the popular childrens show fraggle rock . i couldn’t find the chords for the song anywhere so i took a stab at it and i think it’s alright . Dm when my time to go is here , G call my friends to gather near . Dm A tell the doctor and the preacher that i’m failing . Dm but forget about your black , G ’cause i’m planning to come back . A# Dm play some honky - tonkin’ grief and dixie wailing . Chorus : A# pick me up and lay me down , Dm and spread the news all over town , A Dm and tell ’em all to come or they’ll be sorry . A# pick me up and shake me twice . Dm i’m coming back from paradise . A Dm this poor boy is here to live in glory . when it’s time to say good - bye , all my friends will sit and cry , and they’ll watch the coffin rockin’ round and squirmin’ . then they’ll raise a mighty shout , when my bones come marching out . and i praise myself and preach the final sermon . Chorus when the earth begins to quake , from the shaking at my wake , i’ll be here and making music like a light wine [ could be life line ] . ’till the honky - tonkin’ grief , gives the angels sweet relief , ’cause they know that dixie wail is still surviving . Chorus 2x
