    Confederate song "Dixie to arms!"
    Lyrics by Albert Pike, 1861

    Southrons, hear ye Country call ye!
    Up! Lest worse than death befall you!
    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!
    Hurrah! Hurrah!
    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 thunders mutter!
    Northern flags and South winds fluter,
    To arms! To arms! To arms! In Dixie!
    Send them back your fierce defiance!
    Stamp upon the cursed alliance!
    To arms! To arms! To arms! In Dixie!

    Advance the flag of Dixie!
    Hurrah! Hurrah!
    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 labor!
    Lift up rifle, pike, and saber!
    To arms! To arms! To arms! In Dixie!
    Shoulder press and post to shoulder,
    Let the odds make each heart bolder!
    To arms! To arms! To arms! In Dixie!

    Advance the flag of Dixie!
    Hurrah! Hurrah!
    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!
    Then I wish I was in Dixie,
    Hurrah! Hurrah!
    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!
