EVERYBODY'S DIXIE
(As sung by Bobby Horton on "Homespun Songs of the C.S.A. Vol. 1")

Southrons hear ye country call ye
Up lest worst than death befall ye
To Arms!! To Arms!! To Arms in Dixie!
Lo, all the beacon fires are lighted
Let all hearts be now united
To Arms!! To Arms!! To Arms in Dixie!
Advance the flag of Dixie; Hoorah!! Hoorah!!
For Dixie's Land we take our stand
To live or die for Dixie
To Arms!! To Arms!! And conquer peace for Dixie!
To Arms!! To Arms!! And conquer peace for Dixie! Oh hear the Northern thunderous mutter
Northern flags in South winds flutter
To Arms!! To Arms!! To Arms in Dixie!
Send them back your fierce defiance
Stamp upon the first alliance
To Arms!! To Arms!! To Arms in Dixie!
Advance the flag of Dixie; Hoorah!! Hoorah!!
For Dixie's Land we take our stand
To live or die for Dixie
To Arms!! To Arms!! And conquer peace for Dixie!
To Arms!! To Arms!! And conquer peace for Dixie!

Fear no danger, shun no labour
Lift up rifle, pike, and sabre
To Arms!! To Arms!! To Arms in Dixie!
Shoulder pressing close to shoulder
Let the odds make each heart bolder
To Arms!! To Arms!! To Arms in Dixie!
Advance the flag of Dixie; Hoorah!! Hoorah!!
For Dixie's Land we take our stand
To live or die for Dixie
To Arms!! To Arms!! And conquer peace for Dixie!
To Arms!! To Arms!! And conquer peace for Dixie!

And I wish I was in Dixie; Hoorah!! Hoorah!!
For Dixie's Land we take our stand
To live or die in Dixie
Away, away, away down South in Dixie
Away, away, away down South in Dixie
