“Dixie”
The following Pro- Southern version or adaptation to Emmett’s version was penned by Albert Pike, an Arkansas planter and a Confederate General.
Southrons, hear your country call you Up! lest worse than death befall you To arms! to arms! to arms! in Dixie!
Lo! all the beacons fires are lighted, Lo! all the hearts now be united To arms! to arms! to arms! in Dixie!
Advance the flag of Dixie Hurrah! Hurrah! for Dixie’s land we’ll take our stand, And live or die for Dixie!
To Arms! to arms! And conquer peace for Dixie! To arms! to arms! And Conquer peace for Dixie!
Next I will publish the Pro Union version.
Have a Dixie Day!!!!!!!!!
