Introdução:
G
In a dreary Yankee prison
D
Where a Rebel soldier lay
D
By his side there stood a preacher
G
?Ere his soul should pass away
As he faintly whispered, ?Parson,?
D
As he clutched him by the hand
D
?Oh Parson, tell me quickly,
G
Will my soul pass through the Southland??
Instrumental

verse 2
G
?Will my soul pass through the Southland,
D
Through old Virginia grand
D
Will I see the hills of Georgia
G
And the green fields of Ala-bam??
G
?Will I see that little church house
D
Where I pledged my heart and hand
D
Oh Parson, tell me quickly,
G
Will my soul pass through the Southland??

?Was for lovin?, dear old Dixie

In this dreary cell I lie

Was for lovin?, dear old Dixie

Oh Parson, tell me quickly,

Will my soul pass through the Southland??

verse 4
G
With his soul pure as a lily
D
And his body sanctified
D
In that dreary yankee prison

The brave rebel soldier died
G
Then the parson looked up to heaven
D
And in blessing raised his hand
D
Father grant this soldier?s wishes
G
May his soul pass through the Southland
