Lyrics
1. We’re going down to Dixie, to Dixie, to Dixie
We’re going down to Dixie, to fight for the dear old Flag
And should we fall in Dixie, in Dixie, in Dixie
And should we fall in Dixie, we’ll die for the dear old Flag
Chorus
Hold on, Abraham
Never say die to your Uncle Sam
Uncle Sam’s boys are coming right along
Six hundred thousand strong
2. Our Flag shall float o’er Dixie, o’er Dixie, o’er Dixie
Our Flag shall float o’er Dixie, the Red the White and Blue
We’ll ne’er give up ’till Dixie, ’till Dixie, ’till Dixie
We’ll ne’er give up ’till Dixie, sings Yankee Doodle Doo
3. Our Halleck’s bound for Dixie, for Dixie, for Dixie
Our Halleck’s bound for Dixie, with a million boys or two
He’ll never give up Dixie, old Dixie, old Dixie
He’ll never give up Dixie, ’till she’s back in the Union true
4. McClellan he’s in Dixie, in Dixie, in Dixie
McClellan he’s in Dixie, and ready for the foe
Do you think he’ll give up Dixie, old Dixie, old Dixie
Do you think he’ll give up Dixie, oh, no no no no no no
5. Bold Kearney fell in Dixie, in Dixie, in Dixie
Bold Kearney fell in Dixie, while fighting for us all
And there is Gen’ral Burnside, our Burnside, old Burnside
And there is Gen’ral Burnside, he will avenge his fall
6. And where is Gen’ral Butler, our Butler, old Butler
And where is “Picayune Butler,” he’s gone to Dixie’s town
And there he keeps a stir’ing, a stir’ing, a stir’ing
And there he keeps a stir’ing, the Secesh up and down
7. Brave Corcoran’s come from Dixie, from Dixie, from Dixie
Brave Corcoran’s come from Dixie, to speed the cause along
He’s going back to Dixie, to Dixie, to Dixie
He’s going back to Dixie, with a Brigade full and strong
8. Our friends have gone to Dixie, to Dixie, to Dixie
Our friends have gone to Dixie, to fight for the dear old Flag
And we’re all going to Dixie, to Dixie, to Dixie
And we’re all going to Dixie, to stand by the dear old Flag
