And advance the flag of Dixie; Hooray!! Hooray!!

To live and die for Dixie
To Arms!! To Arms!! And conquer peace for Dixie!
Shoulder pressing close to shoulder
Let the odds make each heart bolder

Shun no danger, fear no labor
Lift up rifle, pike and saber
To Arms!! To Arms!! To Arms in Dixie!
And advance the flag of Dixie; Hooray!! Hooray!!
For in Dixie Land we'll take our stand
To live and die for Dixie
To Arms!! To Arms!! And conquer peace for Dixie!
