FINALE

LUCILLE (at home)

Leo, oh Leo

I know he’ll protect you

And don’t be afraid;

I’ll be fine here — you’ll see.

Farewell, my Leo —

You’re right here beside me You’re here by the door

And you’re holding my arm

And you’re stroking my hair

And you’re finally:

MARY

Mr. Frank?

Happy Memorial Day.

FRANKIE

I go to fight for these old hills behind me,

The old red hills of home.

I go to fight for these hills that remind me Of a way of life that’s pure,

Of the truth that will endure

In the city of Atlanta,

In the old red hills of home!

ENSEMBLE

God bless the sight of the old hills of Georgia,

The old red hills of home.

Praise those who’d fight for the old hills of Georgia

For those proud and valiant men,

We’ll sing «Dixie"once again

For the men of Marietta:

For the brothers of Cobb County:

For the fathers of Atlanta:

For the patriarchs:

Who gave ev’rything for Georgia

And the old red hills of home!
