The version of “Dixie” I love best comes from an old 1940 Movie with Jimmy Cagney - “The Fighting 69th”.
It’s played when the 4th Alabama comes marching into Camp Mills, to be brigaded together with the 69th New York Irishers.

And then of course, the brawl between the Southern Boys and the New York boys begins... hehehe. Great movie, catch it when it comes on if you’ve never seen it.
And they also play “Garry Owen” playing in that movie as well.
