While The Band Is Playing Dixie G

It was on a day when soldiers wrote a line to those they loved
To Mothers wives and sweethearts far away
When a fair haired boy sat dreaming of a far off southern town
Of a dark eyed maiden waiting day by day
On that night when all were sleeping came the bugle call to arms
With flashing eyes he plunged into the fray
And among the first to give his life all for the flag he loved
Was a boy who dreamed of Dixie far away
