In Dixie, in Dixie, fair land of cane and cotton,
In Dixie, in Dixie, where hearts are brave and true,
In Dixie, in Dixie, old hatred is forgotten,
And day and night
One banner bright
Waves o'er the Gray and Blue.
In Dixie, in Dixie, where heroes fought and perished,
In Dixie, in Dixie, old friendship starts anew,
In Dixie, in Dixie, where mem'ries proud are cherished,
Missoula stands,
With loving hands,
And greets the Gray and Blue.
