Missouri Waltz.
Even though the melody was written by an African-American, it references Dixie, which is now taboo:
Hush-a-bye, ma baby, slumbertime is comin' soon;
Rest yo' head upon my breast while Mommy hums a tune;
The sandman is callin' where shadows are fallin',
While the soft breezes sigh as in days long gone by.
Way down in Missouri where I heard this melody,
When I was a little child upon my Mommy's knee;
The old folks were hummin'; their banjos were strummin';
So sweet and low.
Strum, strum, strum, strum, strum,
Seems I hear those banjos playin' once again,
Hum, hum, hum, hum, hum,
That same old plaintive strain.
Hear that mournful melody,
It just haunts you the whole day long,
And you wander in dreams back to Dixie, it seems,
When you hear that old time song.
Hush-a-bye ma baby, go to sleep on Mommy's knee,
Journey back to Dixieland in dreams again with me;
It seems like your Mommy is there once again,
And the old folks were strummin' that same old refrain.
Way down in Missouri where I learned this lullaby,
When the stars were blinkin' and the moon was climbin' high,
Seems I hear voices low, as in days long ago,
Singin' hush-a-bye.

That one is safe due to the relationship between the Seminole Indian Tribe and Florida State University.
They have threatened legal action against any person or group attempting to cancel them and violence if the legal action fails.
Dixieland Delight and playing Sweet Home Alabama is my guess. Sure, you have Ole Miss and Miss St doing things, but you've already gone after the entire state with the flag.
Bama has the word "Dixie" in something, and then Skynnard fans being predominantly white, that's going to be targeted. And no, I don't think Lynnard Skynnard is racist, but I also don't think The Dukes of Hazzard was, either. But we can't have white country boys right now.
