IF YOU BELONG TO DIXIE'S LAND
TUNE:--"Gideon's Band."

To bring you this good news I've come,
To bring you this good news I've come,
To bring you this good news I've come,
You'll always find yourself at home,

CHO:If you belong to Dixie's Land
Here's my heart and here's my hand,
Why, then belong to Dixie's Band,
We're fighting for a home.

I'll tell you what, if you can fight,
I'll tell you what, if you can fight,
I'll tell you what, if you can fight,
We all will arm for Southern-right,

You know the banner o'er our head,
You know the banner o'er our head,
You know the banner o'er our head,
The glorious red, and white, and red,

No stain or shame its glory mars,
No stain or shame its glory mars,
No stain or shame its glory mars,
But gaily flaunt the stars and bars,

We seek no gain, we fear no loss,
We seek no gain, we fear no loss,
We seek no gain, we fear no loss,
In battle 'neath the Southern cross,

So let us to the South be true,
So let us to the South be true,
So let us to the South be true,
Then bully for me, and bully for you,
