I'm not give an advice how to get 'utf8x' option for inputenc
(personally I redefine all LaTeX stuff of Org) but for the record this is very
useful information about 'utf8' vs 'utf8x':
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/13067/utf8x-vs-utf8-inputenc

Also, you may try lualatex instead of pdflatex.

Under the wide and starry sky,
Dig my grave and let me lie,
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And laid me down with a will,
And this be the verse that you grave for me,
Here he lies where he longed to be,
Home is the sailor home from the sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.
