Dixie Down

Hugh Freeze is his name
And he drove on the Rebel train
'Til the NCAA came
And tore up the Rebel tracks again
In the winter of 15'
They were recrutin', just tearing it up
Freeze took the train to Florida that fell
It's a time I remember
Oh, so well

The night they drove Ole Dixie down
And the cowbells were ringin'
The night they drove Ole Dixie down
And the people were singin'
They went
Hail dear ole State
Fight for that victory today
Hit the ground and tote the ball
Cross the goal before you fall

Back with his wife in Oxford
One day she said to him
Hugh, quick come see
There's Mullen owning The Square
Now, Hugh don't mind choppin' wood
And he don't care if his player payroll's no good
Dan, just take what you want and leave the rest
But please don't take my head coach desk

Like Coach Nutt before him
Hugh's a cheating man
And like his father before him
Hugh took a Rebel stand
Well, he was 46, proud and brave
But a Georgia Bulldog laid him in his grave
I swear by the blood in The Square
You can't raise a Reb back up
When they're in defeat

The night they drove Ole Dixie down.....
