- Though this song has been claimed to have been written by several other people, Daniel Emmett is the recognized composer. Originally written as a minstrel song it became a rallying song for the south of which Emmett, a Unionist, lamented. This song is available on my CD 'My Grandfather's Clock which is available on iTunes at:itunes.apple.c... or hard copies at: tomroush.us

Excellent rendition, Mr. Roush! It's the best I ever have heard! My cousin was Confederate States Army Brigadier General John Echols, who commanded part of the Stonewall Brigade. He played a prominent role in that entire chapter of American history. I also have at least two other Confederate ancestors: my uncle was Confederate States Army Private William A. Rowden and my cousin was Confederate States Army Private John H. Rowden; they joined together and were captured together at the Battle of Helena. They were held as prisoners of war, my uncle's being sent to Fort Delaware and my cousin's being transported to Camp Douglas. My uncle survived, returning to Missouri to die here about two years later at the age of thirty-eight; my cousin died in prison camp, giving his valorous, honorable life for his country at the age of eighteen. You have done them proud, sir; God bless you and all yours. I hope you repost your fantastic performance of "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny" complete with the sheet music and the story behind Mr. Bland's writing of the song. Deo Vindice!

All right, sir, if you want specifics, very well; John Echols was my second cousin, seven times removed, William A. Rowden was my fourth great granduncle, and John H. Rowden was my second cousin, five times removed. Does all of that do better for you, jackass?
Don't look now, but your ignorance is showing.
First of all, sir, if you want to talk to me you're going to clean up your filthy mouth; your dirty language is not welcome with me. Secondly, I referred generally to my kinfolks; anyone with any level of sense knew what I was saying. Thirdly, your anger shows your embarrassment; that's what people do when they're shown to be wrong. Fourthly, your disrespect of my family is disgusting and vile, you wretch; my Confederate ancestors were not losers, they were American patriots of the highest caliber who fought to preserve constitutional liberty as existent in states' rights. Fifthly, I have every right in the world, as well as a duty and a responsibility, to honor and to remember them; their sacrifices are priceless, and I had better never forget that. Lastly, Mr. Chapman is entirely correct; your ignorance is showing, and horribly at that. You dishonor your own ancestors in your impertinence toward mine; you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Your cousin? Just Cousin? Are you a time traveler? I'd like to go back to the 1860's with you, such a magical time it was.
Please grow up, sir; you know perfectly well what I meant.
This song I heard the other day on You Tube in one of the historical ceremony by the southern states people on the Gettysburg old battlefield in Pennsylvania. They sung this song enthusiastically repeated over and over again. Thank you Mr. Tom Roush I love every American Old Folk Song. Koki Kojima from Japan
It's always nice to come back and listen to your version Tom, it's the best out there by far
Thanks, Sky!
Must be good to read all of the musically illiterate's replies Tom. The negative one's don't even rate a mention.
Tom Roush God bless you and your lovely voice, Tom!
Thanks for keeping alive the flame of American Heritage!!
@@MusicOfTomRoush I bet if I named my snake Dixie, a mouse wouldn't want to be in Dixie.

You really must have a deep passion for history and facts to gather all the cool pictures and lyrics and add your great voice and music! I'm glad we get to enjoy it!
Who can NOT like this fun music? Love it! ♥
Even ole Abe Lincoln loved this song
liberals will say it's racist so show em racism buy putting a ghost costume with a pointy hood
@@dreadedworld8864just reinforces it
@@ZalamaTheDragonGoddixieland was written in 1859 about the southern states, before the confederacy even existed
i can think of many
I'm from Daniel Emmett's home town (Mount Vernon, Ohio). My grandmother, who was born in 1878, remembered him as an old man who would walk the streets. Shortly before he died in 1904 he attended a performance at the Woodward Opera House (still in existence today). He was brought up on stage and the band began to play Dixie. He tearfully sang along with the band.
Being Asian American I find this song to be on the top five of near and dear songs to my heart. The fist teacher i ever had would play this on the piano. Quite curious to find out about its roots.
⭐⭐⭐⭐Tom I love these great old songs they are really great they chose the right person for the right songs ⭐⭐⭐⭐.
I love listening to Great songs like is and I love it
Very cool. Interesting to know while a rallying song for the south it was also one of Abe Lincolns favorite songs. He even played it at the announcement of Robert E. Lee's surrender.
34Floaty smug prick he proclaimed the song now belonged to the north. well o say no this song shall always belong to all the confederate southern men who died
That's called rubbing it in DAMN YOU LINCOLIN
connor Kenway I suppose you can see it that way. I always thought it was charming that Lincoln played the song at the surrender. It was like a celebration for the south reentering the Union.
@@Sky-pg6xy Lincoln was no charmer, he was a tyrant. Read up on the books that discuss that (far too many to list here) and your view of history will change.
Anno Ruse Im aware Lincoln bent the Constitution to preserve the Union. Suspension of habeas corpus, arresting and installing state representatives, sedition acts that often landed people in jail without trial, federal mandates and suspension of state legislatures ect... And i view all of those things with distaste. Its hard to argue right or wrong in this case, because the entire nation was at risk of fractionation and drastic measures had to be taken to preserve the Union. What i can say is that its remarkable how far Lincoln did not go. In any other country im sure such an aggregation of power under the political pressures arrayed against the U.S. would have lead to corruption and ultimately dictatorship. For example (Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Russia, China, Cambodia, Cuba, Vietnam, North Korea) ect.. but instead Lincoln went only as far as he had to and relinquished that power when he was no longer required to wield it. Though wrong it may be, It speaks volumes of the moral and political foundations of this country that we could weather such a circumstance and come out the other side still dedicated to the principles set down in our constitution. Thats a mark in favor of Lincoln in my mind, and in favor of this country.
My favorite song from an historical point of view, since I was 7 years old. I was born, raised, and lived in a major north, midwest city for 42 years while taking trips and vacations south. Then moved south-southwest out of choice, for another 27+years. Haven't been back. Some places of the north are good to visit but I wouldn't want to live there.
Love this version, thank you
Love how the fiddle quotes the Bonnie Blue Flag at 2:22
바람과 함께 사라지다 라는 책을 읽으며 스칼렛과 버틀러가 춤을 추는 노래의 장르가 ‘릴’ 라는 것이 또 당시의 노래의 분위기가 궁금하여 이 동영상에 들어오게 되었는데 되게 밝고 즐겁고 경쾌한 느낌이 나는 것 같습니다 책에서 릴 곡 중 가장 아름다운 곡이라 서술되어 있는데 다른 릴 곡을 들어본 적이 없어 정확히는 모르겠지만 가만히 들어보니 아름답다 느낄만 하다고 생각했습니다
We never think this is not a sort of villain, hatred, slavery song. We truly believe this is a sort of American Southern folk, heritage, cultural song which is not really related with villain, hatred, and slavery.
Thank you so much for reuploading this...
Holy crap....... that's one soothing voice... !!
Fun fact: the original composer of the song was a staunch supporter of the union, and wish she had never written it upon hearing of its use by the Confederacy.
"If I had known to what youth they would put my song, I will be damned to have ever written it" - Daniel Emmett
I love this song.
Beautiful Dixie's Land !
Great as always Tom :)
Great voice!
Abraham Lincoln said it was one of the best tunes he ever heard. (from "Lincoln on the Verge" by Ted Widmer).
Beautiful!
SHAME ON YOU WHO GAVE A NEGATIVE REVIEW OF THIS VERY OLD AMERICAN SONG! IT IS OUR HISTORY AND YOU WILL NEVER, EVER, CHANGE OUR AMERICAN HISTORY.
woah woah woah calm down before you blow a blood vessel
American music. Period. No debate.
American music used to represent anti-american people
@@quinnpuffer7901 LOL!!!!! Run along now, Quinn!
Confederate music*
Union Dixie by Tennessee Ernie Ford is the anthem of winners and patriots. That said, even this song that became a rally for the south, was composed by a unionist.
*imperialists, and fascists, you mean. Calling Lincolnites patriots is worse than calling redcoats patriots during the ARW
my favorite
Sadly, some see this song in the same light as they see the Confederate Flag. Thanks for this historical document. You ought to release a DVD with the videos that accompany the songs. Just an idea.
The CSA needs to be dumped in the same pit we buried Nazi Germany and paved over with concrete. I say that as a CSA descendant. My ancestors screwed up.
@@flotowncomputerguy6243 You have a very ignorant view on history if you think those two are even remotely similar.
@@peterjones5243 I'd say I'm not apologizing for a bunch of humanity hating racists one way or the other. You have a nice day today. :)
@@flotowncomputerguy6243 Just saying the two cases aren't the same, not everything was race. Hope you have a nice day too. Ciao!
I don't give two spits in hell for the politically correct police. They would inject politics into an ink blot.
Том, люблю тебя!
I could swear someone used that “look away look away” part can’t remember who
GREAT !
Officially Britain appears to have remained neutral during the American civil war. However there is a grave in an old derelict churchyard here in the UK which does appear to have some connection to the American civil war. Apparently the dead son of a farming family here in England was brought back to the UK just after the Civil war ended he was only 24 years old.
Great job. Have you thought about performing Let Me Call You Sweetheart and Come Away With Me Lucille?
Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land.
In Dixie Land, where I was born in,
early on one frosty mornin',
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land.
I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
to live and die in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie
Ole Missus marry "Will the weaver"
Willum was a gay deceiver
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
But when he put his arm around 'er,
He smiled fierce as a forty pounder,
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver
But that did not seem to grieve 'er
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
Ole Missus acted the foolish part
And died for a man that broke her heart
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
Now here's a health to the next ole Missus
An' all the gals that want to kiss us;
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
But if you want to drive 'way sorrow
Come and hear this song tomorrow
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
There's buckwheat cakes and Injun batter,
Makes you fat or a little fatter
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
Then hoe it down and scratch your gravel,
To Dixie's Land I'm bound to travel,
Look away! Look away! Look away!
Dixie Land
Any plans to re-upload "The Maid of Monterey," "Carry me back to Old Virginny," or "The Blue and the Gray?" Those are some of my favorite songs you have done. I absolutely love your work!
Alex Braunberger U're from Germany or Austria, aren't u? At least ur name sounds german:D sorry for asking but here in the US it isn't that common to have the second name Braunberger:D
SkeletonSmasher Yes, my last name is German (on my Dad's side). But no, I was born and raised in the great state of Utah in the good old US of A. I wouldn't know of it being common outside my family.
Alex Braunberger oh that's cool:D I have german ancestors myself:D my grandpa was from Nurnberg, Bavaria and had come to Colorado just 10 years before World War 2 broke out...
+Alex Braunberger I know it's been 11 months, but to let you know I have relatives in Idaho, specifically the Caldwell area. They go by the surname "Siegmann". Moved there in the 1920's/1930's. The patriarch (my great great uncle) was born in Arkansas, but his father and mother immigrated from Germany.
I love it
I love this song Dixie is the best
Agreed
This is one of my favorite songs. Mr Roush you have great voice.
PS: Do you plan to re upload Lilly Dale?
SWEET!!

A shout out to the South from the Buckeye State!
I'm from Ohio and yet I love this song. Something's wrong with me.
Edward Young Don't worry about it. The man who composed the song was from Ohio himself.
Nothing wrong with loving great music from our history. Nothing at all.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fact, Daniel Emmett was actually a unionist and he lamented when this song became a symbol of the south
I am from the South.
Me too which state?
Eugene Horner I a Florida man
Love this song. Love the country.
Dam Emmett when he was with Bryant's minstrels.
Good job
Thank you Maria!

As much as I hate hearing the word Confederate due to my black heritage and the fact that this was not intended for what it became known for, I still like this song.
fanny3211 even Lincoln actually liked this song.
the civil war was NOT about slavery. north had more slaves and treated them way worse
fanny3211 Long live the Confederate States of America.
We are all southerners by heart.
When the war began the man who owned the most slaves, a New Orleans slave broker, was himself black. At the wars close New York Senator Delancy had the most on his Delaware plantations and led the opposition to the 13th Amendment, God damn his soul.
“Dixie” was a Blackface Minstrel song performed by Blackface performer Dan Emmett who performed in the Virginia Minstrels….
God bless Dixie!
Staied very good
Do you have Old Folks at Home (Suwanne River)?
Tom Roush has died, but here ruclips.net/video/Lc8V4Vyc5iA/видео.html is his rendition of Old Folks at Home
Hurrah!! Hurrah!! Down with General Grant!....
Am I too late?
What is this grabble that we must scratch?
Grabble is stubble from a beard
do you plan on re uploading my grandfather's clock?
Jonathan: I plan to have a new video of 'My Grandfather's Clock' up next week. Thank you so much for your interest
+Tom Roush you may have a few new subscribers as well.
God bless the CSA!
He was Born In Ohio Which is A Northern State.
Viva - Confederation! Viva - C.S.A. Viva - Conservatism and orthodox morals!
So you're just anti-american
The South will rise again!
When?
Okay bud go have your little revolution play date
you were at the capitol on January 6th werent you?
American history
Originally it was written to be slow with feeling, not fast. The Yankees turned it into a mistral song and changed some of the words to make it a Yankee song. It didn't' stick.
This isn't too fast and is nice. But the original was slower.
You mean like Elvis did it?
Yeeeeee ! Baumwolle , yes ?
What's funny is that this song was actually written by a Yankee.
Truly, history has a funny way of repeating itself, am I right?
That’s why the lyrics read “I wish I was in the Land of Cotton” I don’t understand how this fact isn’t more known lmao
Also one of Abraham Lincoln's favourite songs.
