THE BODY AND SOUL OF DIXIE"
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.

THE BODY AND SOUL OF DIXIE"
The women of the Confederate
Choir of America have made a mis-
''Dixie"
They say the words are awkward"
Maybe. But
The words of the old thrilling song
are forever welded to the tune. The
marriage is complete. What tradition
and reverent memory have joined let
not man or woman put asunder.
The enforcement of words and music
that have lived long together ought to
be forbidden.
With the best intention doubtless the
historic, homely words about CHINA
mon seed and sandy bottom" have
been changed by these women, who
have substituted the lines:
Oh. Dixie land is the land of glory,
The land of cherished song and story!
The substituted words are good
enough in their way, but it is safe to
declare they will never permanently
be fitted to the old tune. They lack the
native flavor of the old words
There Is a lot of "go" in the old
words as there is in the old music of
'eDixie."
The song is almost as popular in the
north as in the south. If you want to
wake up any hstless audience any
where in America start the orchestra
to playing Dixie" No other song viii
bring men and women to their feet
with beating hearts and flushed faces
! like the old song
Let Dixie" alone.
| Lips that are long since dust have
shouted those awkward" words They
are embalmed in sacred recollections.
To change them would amount to an
insult to the dead.
This itch to change the words Of our
national songs breaks out every Sc
often. Not long ago an attempt was
made to substitute new words for
''The Star Spangled Banner" 1t failed
and deserved to fail, because the old
words of the song are fighting words
the words that famed up hot and pa
triotic from the swelling heart of
Fxancis Scott Key.
To change the verses Of any great
national song is to do violence to his
toric sentiment.
The choppy, staccato syllables of the
'Marseillaise," dashed off in the fervoI
of revolution, forever belong to the
wild, weird music. The stanzas that
go with the slow cadences of ''The
Watch on the Rhine" will ever be deal
to every lover of the fatherland.
Let Dixie" alone. Because
You cannot change it's body withour
harmfng its immortal soul.
