way, away down South in Dixie! Away, away, away down South in Dixie! That flag — the foemen quailed before it, When our patriot fathers bore it, Far away, &c. And battle-fields are shrined in story, Where its folds were bathed in glory, Far away, &c. And now, when traitor hands assail it, Stanch defenders ne'er shall fail it;-- Far away, &c. Nor from its glorious constellation, Stars be plucked by pirate nation;-- Far away, &c. Undimmed shall float that starry banner, Over Charleston and Savannah, Far away, &c.

Until once more our banner glorious Waves o'er Dixie land victorious, Far away, far away, far away, Dixie land. Then we'll
