Dixie’s Determination



Dixie’s Determination

Burden of a kid from the South is light
Heritage runs deep into the earth day and night
Rebel yell makes me laugh, their skeletons rattle and shake
The original bone yard that’ll never break

Essence of strength nourished by tears and tragedy
Never forgotten, the spear and fire of Sherman’s legacy
But we rise again in freedom, not without pain
Savannah’s dew is those tears that fall like rain

Do I cry in anger as once more gentleman and belle are under attack?
They can’t leave our memories cast in bronze and rise as rats
Y’see y’all we represent the strength of America against their treacherous rants
Our kith and kin under the eyes of God in battle fell

Gettysburg’s a name that sends a shiver and death knell
But we rise together, this time Southern White and Black
Offending the North and the Klan stabbing us in our back
This time, the rebel yell, will NOT allow America to die
