I still come back and watch this video from time to time. Best college fight song of all time. It’s a shame they don’t play it anymore. Dixie and Battle Hymn of the Republic are beautiful songs.
I still get tears in my eyes ..when Dixie is played ..tears of pride ..as a Creole of color from the Gulf coast of Louisiana . family had been sugar.and cotton growers and brokers ...I'm proud to be an old Southerner..one of my daughters middle name is Dixie ..God Bless Louisiana and every inch of Dixie .. Three hundred years of Southern Pride..first ancestors settled California in the 1600s..and New Orleans in the early 1700s..French -Spanish and original Western Saharan ..Black Berbers ancestry ..Dixie is not a color ..it's a people and land ..the best on Earth..
While visiting Ole Miss campus on a spring weekday last year, I could hear church bells playing Dixie. It was so peaceful and beautiful hearing these notes floating among the trees.
There is no need for boycotts, no need for confrontation, no need for petitions. All that is required are a few courageous band members, including alumni band members, Ole Miss supporters who can play an instrument, and any other musician with a backbone to gather together, and play "Dixie" on or adjacent to campus. Do it either well-planned in advance, or as a "flash mob band", but do it right and do it often and do it with pride.
mother66 First of all, inundate the chancellor's office with hard-copy mail and phone calls. Organize the alumni. Then, do it anyway. The nation needs to see jack-booted thugs loading hundreds of law-abiding citizens into police vans for playing a benign song.
I'm a northerner, but now live in ATL. I am against racism and all hateful behavior. However, I think it is absolutely crazy that Ole Miss cannot play this march in public anymore. The song is not racist, it was written BEFORE the Civil War. The problem is that liberals tell everyone that a song, a picture, a word, etc.....is equivalent to racism. It's just absurd. At the University of North Dakota, we had to give up our Mascot (Fighting Sioux) even though both Indian reservations voted 75% to 25% to keep the name with the school. It is just crazy how so few people can cause so much grief for the majority. I love Dixie, it has always been one of my favorites. Keep playing it Ole Miss.......
We as Southern have more patriotism in our little toe then any other parts of our country. An one other thing the Stars and Bar have gone to war with our boys in every war since the Civil War.
"It was written before the Civil war" Yes their was Slavery before the civil war. Not sure what point y ki u were trying to make by that. Also it shouldn't be libs think this and conservatives think that. Because both sides share similar thought and opinions. The extreme in either side will never agree. Smart open minded Americans can make a difference in the center. Not going to be easy. Hope I see it in my lifetime. GOD BLESS AMERICA
This was Abe Lincoln's favorite song and he ordered the Marine Corps Band to play it when he heard Lee surrendered. It's not just apart of Southern history but American history, it's a beautiful song and shouldn't be forgotten.
During the 80s the Iowa marching band played this combination of Dixie/Battle Hymn of the Republic. It is beautiful and honors all of the young men who have fought for our country. Dixie is a beautiful song (Lincoln's favorite) and should be pllalyed whenever they want to play it.
I am a student at Ole Miss and it really is a damn shame that we can't play this anymore! The song itself is not hateful. It's part of mine and many other's history and we should be allowed to be proud of it! I understand the flag to a point but to take away dixie from us is not right. There is a way to have full equality and still play this beautiful song!
The song isn't about race or the south rising again which is never going to happen! It's about who you are and where your from. Nothing to do with what it sounds like yoy want
No, thats actually not what Ole Miss is about at all. Its funny that you say that cuz your actually the one who is left out now. 99% of people that go to Ole Miss arent like that at all. And no they actually do not chant "The south will rise again" anymore. They have even started playing Dixie again. The students that did chant that weren't even from Mississippi. They were form Georgia and were kicked out of school for it. Ole Miss is a place of learning and equality. It's very clear that you are not a part of Ole Miss and you would not be welcome there at all if this is how you think. Ole Miss isn't like that a single bit anymore. Sorry to bust your bubble. lol
I'm an Auburn man myself, but it's bullshit Ole Miss had to change their name & mascot. Even though UNLV is called the rebels & the mascot looks like a Confederate colonel but the NCAA ain't got a problem with that. Goddamn bless PC America.
It's the opposite, by the Emancipation Proclamation. That stated slaves in states at war against the Union were free, but those in Union territory were not.
You know the second part of this song is the battle hymm of the republic... The fucking abolitionist wrote that song. This song is about unity and healing.
@@ohoopeewoman7824 Sadly most colleges have nearly ruined the band by sticking them in the cheap seats and only letting the play for 30 seconds so they won''t interfere with the lawyer commericals from the scoreboard. If anything is to be banned, It should be the Jumbo-tron. I simply hate those annoying things. I came to watch the game. Not watch TV.
@@ohoopeewoman7824 sadly it seems like not many students care about the band anymore. I will hopefully be in that band in 2 years but i’d be nice if more people cared like they used to.

When Pres. Abraham Lincoln received news that the Civil War (April9, 1865) had ended. He asked the band to play "Dixie." He also lost a Brother in Law to the War (fought for the South).
My father was in the marching band at Ole Miss as a freshman in 1956 playing the French Horn… His Junior year he was Drum Major 58-59.. It’s a shame Ole Miss can’t play this song at games or anywhere for that matter..Dad thought it was a shame!! He told me before he passed that racism was in people & not in the Ole Miss fight song..As times change I realized everyone & everything has a past.. People of this country need to stop labeling & love one another even if they disagree.. Bring back From Dixie with Love & appreciate the beauty of this song!!!
from the Republic of Texas hell yea. play it ! play it anyway what the fuck they gonna do? we play it here all the time when we get together.dont give a damn what new york wants..who cares..peace to my southern neighbors !!
If I'm hearing it right, this mixes Dixie with the north's Battle Hymn of the Republic very well, ending with notes from the Battle Hymn. There's a lot of meaning in this song.
Well, I do wish I was in the land of cotton. Old times there are not forgotten. PLUS. I was born in Dixieland, early on one frosty morn. They can't take that away from me.
Landon Shelby so sad... I'm a Canadian, with no ties to the South... but I really find it sad how people are forced to abandon their heritage. maybe one day we will again live in a free and open society
Ryan, below me, Texas fought for the Confederate States of America in the Civil War...take pride in who you are....never cower nor be ashamed of your heritage
I was born in 1953 and this song means nothing to me politically...I am not a racist by any stretch....I just LOVE the song... My first college game my Dad took me to was the Bluebonnet Bowl with TEXAS against Ole Miss....had to be 40 years ago and I still remember every single rebel flag and the playing of DIXIE....really impressive.... Taking your song away from you would be like someone telling us to stop playing the EYES OF TEXAS because it was to the tune of 'I've been working on the railroad'.....we would be LOST from that point forward..... Hopefully, ONE DAY people will realize how ludicrous it is.... CONGRATULATIONS on BEATING BAMA!!!
Everytime i hear this it puts chills up my back and and a tear in my eye... Never fails!!! Save your confeserate money boys!! The south will rise again!!!
Gives me chills! It is a beautiful song. Wish the South wasn't the only one losing what means so much to them. It is not about race , it is a song! When I heard this song every night when it was the closing song of the radio stations, race did not occur to me. I am so sorry it makes so many so angry. Southerners have to put up with many things we don't care for either, but we do it gracefully. To the one who commented about Old South archive: Are there many Southern archives left? It seems to me that many would like to erase the Old South completely. This use to be a free country with freedom of speech. Sorry we are losing that. I certainly feel we are censored constantly in many areas. I don't like it one bit.
+Holly Gamble-Bryant My hat is off and I bow down graciously to you Miss Holly. For your kind words to us Southerners. I too remember the days when they the TV stations signed off with Dixie and film footage of the old South. You are right it did bring chills to my heart also. May God bless you thanks.
Being a prospective student of Ole Miss, it is sad that I will never get to experience Dixie With Love, or see Colonel Reb, or even seeing the battle flag in the grove. It almost makes me want to cry when I here this because it is a beautiful song but I unfortunately know I will never hear it in person. It's a shame what they are doing to ole miss and the south. Like I don't here people yelling the N-word or promoting slavery. In the 3 years until I Graduate high school ole miss will most likely not be the same. At least I can watch this on TH-cam with the volume up so I can feel like I'm there...
Why? Is there a law in America that prohibits the playing of the Dixie song? I do not see anything in the song that incites sedition or rebellion. It is such a beautiful song but corrupted by impure minds. Just keep playing the Dixie song and the Southern spirit alive!
You as a private citizen have a 1st amendment right to play it. But the university has the right to tell a university-funded band that they can't play it.
Boycott the games, get in their pocket, money talks. Don't give Ole Miss any donations or support other initiatives until they let the band play Dixie.
Dixie isn't about hatred!Just because some people with pointed hats run around and preach hate doesn't mean they represent all of Dixie.The South is a culture in which white and black share. Dixie is about good values, common cultural beliefs, common foods, ancestral roots, etc. White, Black, etc. can and do share all of these. Let me say now I am a proud Southerner and I love anyone if they are a good person, whether they are white, black, Latin American, etc. Every race has good and bad people
{With the fall of Petersburg and Richmond, and Lee’s surrender to Grant at Appomattox, Washington was consumed by celebration. On the evening of April 10, 1865, a crowd of some 3,000 people gathered outside the White House, hoping for some rousing words from their president. In response to their cries of “Speech!” Lincoln demurred, saying he would deliver an address the following evening, after he had adequate time to prepare. As consolation, he issued a special request for the Marine band. “I have always thought ‘Dixie’ one of the best tunes I have ever heard. Our adversaries over the way attempted to appropriate it, but I insisted yesterday that we fairly captured it.” As the crowd laughed and cheered, Lincoln added, “It is good to show the rebels that with us they will be free to hear it again.” }
The best part about everyone saying this song is racist is when they realize the song was actually written by a Yankee .. Let alone a Yankee from NYC. It's all good though because the South will rise again. Long live Dixie
I was at the Liberty Bowl, watching Memphis State vs Mississipi football game in 1987 (if I was not mistaken). MSU won 16-10. But the most memorable moments was the frantic ending to the game, with the Rebels throwing everything at the Tigers. Both set of marching bands played non stop towards the end...Go Tigers Go against Dixieland. Really admire how Dixieland was played that night. (Btw, I went to MSU)
I'm a Georgia white privilege boy who grew up on Dixie, grits, and gravey, and Paul Harey now I'm just an old Reb who has to hide his musket in the basement
People need to stop hating on the south. We have our traditions and you have yours. I'm not racist. I don't support slavery. But I sure as HELL love Dixie, so get over it! That's all I got to say about that.
This song was always a tradition played at football games until the "outsiders" came in and started the process of changing what this university holds true to its history..you can take away songs and symbols but you can take away the history and tradition of this wonderful university.The students/alumni were left out of the decision making process of change. I hope that ole miss will finally stand up for its heritage and be proud to say, "WE ARE OLE MISS, FROM DIXIE WITH LOVE".....
Old times here won't be forgotten.
Look away look away Dixie land
You will, when it will be your turn, pale dixie boy
Good times & Bad times my friend….

The boys in grey fought, suffered, and died just the same as the boys in blue. Nowadays the song is about remembering their sacrifice.
Don’t be a coward. We have to protect these things, and many of y’all are letting it pass by. You have to be active in protecting our culture

I'm a Georgia white privilege boy who grew up on Dixie, grits, and gravey, and Paul Harey now I'm just an old Reb who has to hide his musket in the basement
LOUD AND PROUD!!!! The only way to play Dixie.
GOD BLESS THE SOUTH AND LONG LIVE DIXIE!
God bless Dixie!
@Min1161 Your honesty is refreshing. My heart goes out to that place, hope they can pull it together.
Goosebumps
God bless the Confederacy!
Backward inbreds. Hail Sherman

Deo vindice ! We sang Dixie in school - Opa Locka, Florida.
wonderful
absolutely love it...and i'm texan where we're neither "southern" nor "western" haha WE are simply TEXAS yeeehaw!
Great song, inspiring Southern national anthem.
Proud southern nation! Del vendice
Greetings from Serbia. Don't give up, South!
Man if You are a True SOUTHERNER THAT Makes You Proud.
Next to the Trombones, Trumpets and drums is the best place to stand when listening to a marching band.
People need to stop hating on the south. We have our traditions and you have yours. I'm not racist. I don't support slavery. But I sure as HELL love Dixie, so get over it! That's all I got to say about that.
Alabama brought back Dixieland delight. Ole miss can bring back From dixie with love
I love this song
This song was always a tradition played at football games until the "outsiders" came in and started the process of changing what this university holds true to its history..you can take away songs and symbols but you can take away the history and tradition of this wonderful university.The students/alumni were left out of the decision making process of change.
I hope that ole miss will finally stand up for its heritage and be proud to say, "WE ARE OLE MISS, FROM DIXIE WITH LOVE".....
OUTSTANDING!!! Go Rebs.
9 years later I'm BACK and DIXIE is gone forever from the line up!!!!
Beautiful!
Dixie forever
so beautiful
