Though
some folks have said Dixie will die,
I
don't think this is true and I'll tell you why...
Because
Dixie is bigger than Texas, you see,
And
has as much Southern Hospitality as Tenessee.
Has
more big Plantations than Louisiana
And
more Beautiful Belles than Alabama.
Has
as much golden sunshine as Florida
And
more beautiful Mansions than Georgia.
Like
the Carolinas, has even more beautiful Country
And
like Virginia has as fine a Society.
Has
more Blue Grass than Kentucky, you'all
And
is as much the "Land of Opportunity" as Arkansas
Like
Missouri, must be shown how it can never beforgotten
Since
Like Mississippi it is still the "Land of Cotton"
So
my Rebel flag I'll proudly show,
Because
deep in my heart I honestly know
That
on the day you're afraid to display the Rebel flag,
You'll
be afraid to display the American Flag.
And
I'll hoist my Rebel Flag way up high,
To
see that Dixie, Mighty Dixie, will never die.
R.L. Wagner III 1973
