Oh Dixie, what?s this black cloud roll

She?s comin? down to tear away your soul
G F
How much longer can you pretend?
C
That your plot ain?t threatened by their pen
G Am C G
Hold On, ohhh Dixie, Hold On.

To stand alone and cut America into
C
Means everything?s lost the Constitutions fallen though
G F
To leave the Union, is to weaken what is strong
C
You think it right, they think it morally wrong
G
But you?ll fall, ohhhh Dixie you?ll fall

King Cotton your aim

Is saddled with pain and burning emotion

You need slaves to keep alive
D
But the North can help you survive
G
Your misguided notion.
