	Southrons, hear your country call you! Up! lest worse than death befall you: To arms! to arms! to arms in Dixie! Lo ! all beacon fires are lighted, Let our hearts be now united : To arms ! to arms ! to arms in Dixie ! Advance the flag of Dixie! Hurrah! Hurrah! For Dixie's land we'll 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 ! Hear the Northern thunders mutter! Northern flags in south wind flutter! To arms ! to arms ! to arms in Dixie! Send them back your fierce defiance ! Stamp upon the cursed alliance ! To arms ! to arms in Dixie ! Advance the flag of Dixie ! Fear no danger! shun no labor! Lift up rifle, pike, and sabre! To arms ! to arms! to arms in Dixie ! Shoulder pressing close to shoulder, Let the odds make each heart bolder: To arms ! to arms ! to arms in Dixie ! Advance the flag of Dixie! How the South's great heart rejoices, At your cannon's ringing voices: To arms! to arms! to arms in Dixie ! For faith betrayed and pledges broken, Wrongs inflicted, insults spoken : To arms! to arms ! to arms in Dixie ! Advance the flag of Dixie!	Strong as lions, swift as eagles, Back to their kennels hunt these beagles ! To arms ! to arms ! to arms in Dixie! Cut the unequal bonds asunder! Let them hence each other plunder: To arms! to arms ! to arms in Dixie ! Advance the flag of Dixie! Swear upon your country's altar, Never to give up or falter; To arms! to arms ! to arms in Dixie ! Till the spoilers are defeated, Till the Lord's work is completed, To arms! to arms ! to arms in Dixie ! Advance the flag of Dixie ! Halt not till our Federation, Secures among earth's powers its station! To arms ! to arms ! to arms in Dixie ! Then at peace, and crowned with glory, Hear your children tell the story ! To arms ! to arms ! to arms in Dixie ! Advance the flag of Dixie ! If the loved ones weep in sadness, Victory soon shall bring them gladness. To arms! to arms! to arms in Dixie! Exultant pride soon banish sorrow; Smiles chase tears away to-morrow. To arms ! to arms ! to arms in Dixie ! Advance the flag of Dixie 1 Hurrah ! Hurrah ! For Dixie's land we'll 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 !
