DIXIE The Original Version Dixie was first written as a walk-a-round by an Ohioan,Dan Emmet, and was first sung in Dan Bryants minstrel show-on Broadway, New York, shortly before the war. It came intomartial usage by accident and its stirring strains inspired theregiments on many a battlefield. Curiously enough it was adaptedto patriotic words on both sides and remained popular with Northand South alike after the struggle was over. Abraham Lincoln loved the tune and considered the fact that it was truly repre-sentative of the land of cotton far more important than itslack of adherence to the strict laws of technical harmony. Twenty-two versions of the Confederate stanzas set to this famous melodyhave been collected by the Daughters of the TO CANAAN where are you going, soldiers, with banner, gun,and sword? These soldiers so brilliant in brass buttons and gold braid,with gun and sword, were Green Mountain Boys, members ofthe Sixth Vermont, stationed at Camp Griffin in 1861. The boyin the picture who stands so sturdily between the men has been en-thused by the call of patriotism and hurried away from the moun-tains to join the army, inspired by the leaping rhythm of war songslike Canaan. Many youngsters like him never returned totheir homes after the trumpets had blown their final call. I wish I was in de land ob cotton,Old times dar am not forgotten;Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Dixie Land whar I was born in,Early on one frosty mornin,Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land. Chorus— Den I wish I was in Dixie,Hooray! Hooray! 347 SONGS OF THE WAR DAYS In Dixie Land, Ill took my stand, To lib and die in Dixie: Away, away, away, down South
