Dixie Feet
Dixie Feet
My padded Dixie Feet
Have sifted through the sugar
Sands of the sweet southern beaches
With my webbed toes
Since I’ve known anything,
Way before I became a
Georgia Peach.
Now black crude oil
Has taken a toll
On her crystal clear
Aqua blue waters,
It’s soiling her coastline.
My head hangs low when I
See her soil covered
With dead pelicans, cranes
And sea gulls covered
With ugly black tar from oil.
To watch the poor
Shelled crabs
Transverse
The Black oil sludge,
Causes my blood to boil!
How dare you ruin
My precious commodity,
My southern playground,
My haven,
My sanctuary
From the toil of the World!
All to get your
Precious black crude oil,
I won’t forget your name
British Petroleum.
