Lyrics
Captain Billy Pierce
Here tonight
As I look upon the faces of my brothers
I remember all the others who are gone
Safe in His grace
Watching over this place
With the dawn
Into His hands we shall surrender to his glory
And when they tell the story let them say
Of the sons of the Gray
Not one turned away
It's the last waltz for Dixie
It's the last song she'll sing
So play it with pride
For all those who died
And the spirit inside you
That's the Dixie in me
I believe
There has never been a group of men so splendid
Or a cause so well-defended as our own
Be it heaven or hell
Hail and farewell
It's the last waltz for Dixie
It's the last song she'll sing
So play it with pride
For all those who died
And the spirit inside you
That's the dixie in me
For all we hold dear
The road ahead is clear
For all the things we honor
The moment is here
It's the last waltz for Dixie
It's the last song she'll sing
So play it with pride
For all those who died
And the spirit inside you
That's the Dixie in me
Here tonight
As I look upon the faces of my brothers
I remember all the others who are gone
Safe in His grace
Watching over this place
With the dawn
Into His hands we shall surrender to his glory
And when they tell the story let them say
Of the sons of the Gray
Not one turned away
It's the last waltz for Dixie
It's the last song she'll sing
So play it with pride
For all those who died
And the spirit inside you
That's the Dixie in me
I believe
There has never been a group of men so splendid
Or a cause so well-defended as our own
Be it heaven or hell
Hail and farewell
It's the last waltz for Dixie
It's the last song she'll sing
So play it with pride
For all those who died
And the spirit inside you
That's the dixie in me
For all we hold dear
The road ahead is clear
For all the things we honor
The moment is here
It's the last waltz for Dixie
It's the last song she'll sing
So play it with pride
For all those who died
And the spirit inside you
That's the Dixie in me
