THE BODY AND SOUL OF DIXIE"
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1903. by Edwin A. Nye.

THE BODY AND SOUL OF DIXIE
The women of the Confederate
Choir of America have made a mis-
take in trying to fit new words to
"Dixie."
They say the words are awkward"
Maybe. But
The words of the old thrilling song
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 favor of the old words
There is a lot of "go" in the old
words as there is in the old music of
Dixie"
The song is almost as popular in the
north as In the south. If you want to
wake up any listless audience any
where in America, start the orchestra
to playing Dixie" No other song will
/ hr;v 70
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 ouI
national songs breaks out every sc
often. Not long ago an attempt was
made to substitute new words fol
The Star Spangled Banner" 1t failed
and deserved to fail, because the ole
words of the song are fighting words
the words that famed up hot and pa
triotic from the swelling heart OF
Francis Scott Key.
To change the verses of any grea
national song is to do violence to his
tOric sentiment
The choppy, staccato syllables of tn
'Marseillaise," dashed off in the fervo
of revolution, forever belong to tn
, Wild weird music. The stanzas tina
go with the slow cadences of 9TH
Watch on the Rhine" will ever be dea
to every lover of the fatherland.
Let Dixie alone. Because
You cannot change its body withou
harming its immortal soul.
