 Air—" Dixie's Land." 
 
 Hear ye not the sound of battle. 
 Sabres' clash and muskets rattle; 
 
 Awake, awake, awake in Dixie ! 
 Hostile footsteps on your border, 
 Hostile columns march in order; 
 
 Awake, awake, awake in Dixie! 
 Chorus— Oh flv to arms in Dixie! 
 
 To 
 
 To 
 
 From Dixie's land, we'll drive the band, 
 That comes to conquer Dixie ! 
 
 To arms ! To arms ! 
 And drive the foe from Dixie ! 
 
 See the red smoke hanging o'er us. 
 Hear the cannons' booming chorus. 
 
 Awake, awake, awake in Dixie ! 
 See the Southern columns forming. 
 See each heart with valor warming ; 
 
 Awake, awake, awake in Dixie! 
 Chorus — Then fly to arms, &c. 
 
 All the Northern forces coming. 
 Hear the distant rapid dramming : 
 Awake, awake, awake in Dixie! 
 Prouder ranks were backward driven. 
 When our English bonds were riven ; 
 Awake, awake, awake in Dixie ! 
 Chorus— Then fly to arms, &c. 
 
 Gird your loins with flashing sabre, 
 (Jive your lives to Freedom's labor; 
 Awake, awake, awake in Dixie! 
 What though every hearth be saddened. 
 What though all the land be reddened ; 
 Awake, awake, awake in Dixie! 
 Chorus- -Then fly to arms, &c. 
 
 Shall this boasting mad invader. 
 Trample Dixie and degrade her ; 
 
 Awake, awake, awake in Dixie! 
 Hy our father's proud example, 
 Southern soil they shall not trample ; 
 
 Awake, awake, awake in Dixie ! 
 Ciiori's — Thou fly to arms, &c. 
 
 Southrons meet them on the border, 
 Drive them into wild disorder ; 
 
 Awake, nwake. awake in Dixie ! 
 Strike the Vandals down before you, 
 'Till the last inch they restore you ; 
 Awake, awake, awake in Dixie ! 
 Chorus — Then fly to arms, &c. 
 
 At the Northmen's threatened halter, 
 Southern seamen scorn to falter ; 
 
 Awake, awake, awake in Dixie! 
 Southern heart-strings sternly tightened, 
 At such shadows are uot frightened ; 
 
 Awake, awake, awake in Dixie ! 
 Chorus — Then fly to arms, &c. 
 
 'Mong the hills, wild echoes flying, 
 Hear the Southern bugles crying ; 
 
 Awake, awake, awake iti Dixie! 
 Spring from every hill and valley, 
 Hark the summons ! Hally ! rally ! 
 
 Awake, awai.'". ;; ;;;. .'; " in Dixie '
