 Here is to the Daughters, whose sires wore the grey. And fought for cause that they thought was right;
 Here is to our state, whose coal iron and clay,
 Panoplies our ships on the high seas today,
 Sends a Hobson her great battles to fight.
 l Here is to our southland, whose hearts are warm
 | As the sunshine that is kissing her cline i; | Here is to Vulcan at Birmingham born, | Here is to our fields of cotton and corn, To the fair daughters of Dixie and mine.
 May our good work like the deeds of 1 our brave
 1 Never fade from the memory of man,
 And our coming daughters flower the l glave
 | Of ths sire and son whom their hearts, blood gave,
 For their Dixie for their flag, and their clan.
