Said way down yonder
In the land of cotton
Old times there
Ain't near as rotten
As they are
On this damned old L.A. street
Then he drew a dying breath
Laid his head 'gainst my chest
Please Lord, take his soul
Back home to Dixie
And I sang Dixie
As he died
People just walked on by
As I cried
The bottle had robbed him
Of all his Rebel pride
So I sang Dixie
As he died

Here's a Bellamy salute for your very sec sports related thread...

Half my family was in Italy until the 1910s. The other half were pre-Revolutionary War immigrants. I had relatives fight in the Revolutionary War, War of 1812 and Mexican American War, but almost to the man, my direct descendants either hid in the hills around Winston County or fought for the 1st AL Cavalry (Union Scouts).

My great-great-great grandfather gave was the preacher at the "secession" meeting when Winston County opted not to secede from the Union. His statement was "I just can't see fighting against the flag that George Washington and our kin fought for."

That said, there is no better place to live than the South. Its past has dark, shameful stains, but so does everywhere else. The continuities of the goodness in its culture and heritage are the best parts of America.
