I’m looking forward to this A NATIONAL BLACK ANTHEM. So as NOT to leave anyone out, we need to come up with a NATIVE AMERICAN ANTHEM, and for sure the HISPANICS... CHINESE, Jewish, and Irish... I mean America has SO MANY cultures represented,.... and THEN, we need to have a GAY NATIONAL ANTHEM, or one for TRANNIES, and don’t forget the LESBIANS and of course the AMISH. This really does look promising, no better way to get people to watch football than to divide everyone present into their small tribes. This just might work. And to think the LOW IG people who play football came up with it!!!
I’ll settle for this one.

Loved by many, despised by others, “Dixie” is still among the most recognizable of all American songs. Ironically, it was written by a Northerner, Daniel Decatur Emmett. Bryant’s (blackface) Minstrels premiered it in New York City on April 4, 1859. “I Wish I Was in Dixie’s Land” was an instant hit, and its popularity spread quickly. By 1860 it was especially enjoyed in Southern states and soon also among Confederate army bands. However, many Union bands also played Dixie during the war, or versions of it, and President Lincoln included Dixie among his favorites.
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’s 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’s 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.
