Dixie Doodle was a popular parody of Yankee Doodle in the South at the time of the American Civil War. It was written in 1862 by Margaret Weir, published in New Orleans, and dedicated to "our dear Soldiers on the Battle Field". ==Lyrics== :1. Dixie whipped old Yankee Doodle :Early in the morning, :So Yankeedom had best look out, :And take a timely warning. ::''Chorus'' :Hurrah! for our Dixie Land! :Hurrah! for our borders! :Southern boys to arms will stand, :And whip the dark marauders! :2. Yankee Doodles soundly slept :Upon their greasy pillows, :While Dixie boys, with muffled oars, :Were gliding o'er the billows. :3. Yankee Doodles, grease your heels, :Make ready to be running, :For Dixie boys are near at hand, :Surpassing you in cunning. :4. Anderson, the gallant brave, :Who broke upon their slumbers, :E'en little girls and boys shall sing :Your name in tuneful numbers. :5. A thousand blessings on your heads, :Our brave, unflinching leaders, :A light you are upon the path :Of all our brave seceders. :6. Wright, on Carolina's coast, :Was e'er a hero bolder? :He seized a Yankee foe, and made :A breastwork of the soldier. :7. Louisiana, bold and brave, :Renowned for Creole beauty, :Your champions will bear in mind :The watchword, grace and booty! :8. Yankee Doodle, fair thee well, :Ere long you'll be forgotten, :While Dixie's notes shall gaily float :Throughout the land of cotton. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dixie Doodle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
