Description
Dixie, also known as "Dixie's Land", "I Wish I Was in Dixie", and other titles, is a song about the Southern United States first made in 1859. It is one of the most distinctively Southern musical products of the 19th century. It was not a folk song at its creation, but it has since entered the American folk vernacular. The song likely rooted the word "Dixie" in the American vocabulary as a nickname for the Southern U.S.
As the song is a folk songs and patriotic song written by a Buckeye Northerner, the song's lyrics were altered for the American Civil War. The altered came known as "War Song of Dixie", or more commonly known as "To Arms in Dixie".
