Confederate Railroad - Summer In Dixie Lyrics






I'm so glad you finally called
It's been way too long
How's New York and you been getting on?

You say you're prayin' for one whole week
Well, let me just tell you
The weather here's been kind of crazy too

Summer in Dixie, sure been cold
Even when the sun burns hot enough
There'd be tar on the road
Way down in my heart, a north wind blows
Summer in Dixie, sure been cold

Now if Manhattan turns you on
Do what you gotta do
Don't worry how I'll make it without you

I'll just here on the porch
And wait here for the breeze
To whisper your name through the willow trees

Summer in Dixie, it sure been cold
Even when the sun burns hot enough
There'd be tar on the road
Way down in my heart, a north wind blows
Summer in Dixie, sure been cold

You know I'd never
Talk about the weather

Summer in Dixie, sure been cold
Even when the sun burns hot enough
There'd be tar on the road
Way down in my heart, a north wind blows
Summer in Dixie, sure been cold
Summer in Dixie, sure been cold

    Illinois and New York State can suck it as they've banned this great band just because of their name.

    k.... ....

    That. Does suck they should be aloud to there ain't nothing wrong with the name

    k.... ....

    kosjeyr it’s ok....the confederates beat Illinois and NY’ ass when you consider the numbers they had. As stonewall put it “1 confederate soldier is as good as 3 or 4 cowardly Yankees” “we’ll give them the bayonet”.

  10. A.... R....

    This girl's roots run deep in the South. I was born, bred and raised in the Georgia and damn proud of it.

  11. F.... G....

    Maybe their best song and video!

  12. s.... p....

    I find it funny that theyre using rock n roll (created by Chuck Berry) to celebrate the Confederacy but I digress.

  13. K.... M....

    I miss this lineup of Confederate Railroad. Rest In Peace, Gates and Wayne.

  14. J.... T....

    Rest in paradise Danny Bear Mayo the greatest Songwriter to ever come from Gadsden Alabama Thank you for the awesome music
    🌹🌼🌻🌸🌺🏵⚘🎶🎵🎸🎼

  15. A.... ....

    I am really hot. These anti-American scumbags like those who did this should be the first to be deported!

    A.... ....

    I am referencing the scumbags at the Duquoin county fair who banned them from the fair because of their name.

  16. d.... ....

    The Du Quoin County fair uninvited Confederate Railroad merely because of their name.

    d.... ....

    🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  17. T.... S....

    Such a sad song, I could listen to it a million times and not get sick of it. This is REAL country not the watered down crap played today.

  18. E.... S....

    Always been my favorite song by CR, great song

  19. S.... B....

    i love the Lt frock dannys wearing

  20. b.... 9....

    Fucking KKK and Neo Nazis stole my flag and made it racist. I've got nine confederate ancestors. Proud of my heritage. Southern pride does not equal racism.

  21. s.... ....

    First time I've herd this and what a song it is just love it and as an ex Confederate re-enactor in the 1980's here in England well done to all involved.....

  22. A.... P....

    Anyone else here drunk? I love my woman, she’s upstairs alsleep, but I think it’s the end of our relationship because I have no more love to give to her 16 year old son who has a problem with drugs and stealing and punching holes in my drywall. If I dent his forehead, I go to jail. But if he comes home my woman will stop crying maybe. I’m at a loss...... literally on my front porch having a smoke, beer, staring at the night sky, debating whether to bail. This song makes me have hope but I don’t know.

  23. R.... M....

    I am SO PROUD & THANKFUL of my Southern Heritage & Roots.
    I'll NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR BEING FROM THE SOUTH & I WILL ALWAYS SHOW MY SOUTHERN PRIDE...NO MATTER WHO IT OFFENDS!!!
    I LOVE BEING FROM THE DEEP SOUTH... MOBILE ALABAMA TO BE EXACT.
    GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES
    GOD BLESS THE SOUTH
    GOD BLESS ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE FOOTBALL!!!

    R.... M....

    I wish more folks would realize it's about heritage not hate. IMO there is no difference is being a proud southerner than a person who celebrates Cinco De Mayo, Columbus Day or St. Patrick's Day. We need to stop being so damn PC and show some respect for ALL people.

    R.... M....

    Amen brother!

  34. D.... ....

    Good song

  35. M.... G....

    What a great band, even better live. God Bless Dixie!

  36. d.... ....

    How come everyone else is shooting their revolvers one handed while Danny Shirley was using both?
    Anachronize much,sir?

  37. M.... G....

    Great Video, Great Song, Great Band.

  38. J.... M....

    I was fortunate enough to be one of the Confederate reenactors used during the making of this video. We were on the flat cars behind the coal car and wandered behind the band around the campfire. I was also interviewed by Entertainment Tonight. During the campfire scene someone backed a minivan with sound equipment just out of sight and the guys lip-synced the lyrics. The Confederate/Federal scenes were shot at the Chattanooga Railway Museum.

    J.... M....

    +William Mode During a support the flag rally here in Memphis on Nathan Bedford Forrest's birthday,there was a Confederate re-enactor group rendering honors to both the American flag and the Confederate flag.
    I commented to a reporter covering the even that "It was funny that Confederate and Union drill and ceremonies during the War between the States were the same.It was almost as if everyone was American or something."
    That comment didn't make the evening news.

    J.... M....

    This video has nothing, ZERO to do with the song lyrics. Have you heard them? Lemme break it down for you: she's in New York City in the middle of summer, he is in Dixie, and his heart is cold (and so is his entire being and soul) despite the hot, southern summer. Is that Waterford Crystal Clear for you?

    J.... M....

    Greg K its the girl writing to the guy, and through the ages depicted, she is telling him how much she misses him

    J.... M....

    i go tthere entire bands auto graph on a shirt

    J.... M....

    doughesson wow that's a great way to look at it

  39. J.... B....

    Great song and band................

  40. J.... P....

    great song with a great meaning

  41. m.... c....

    Great song

  42. W.... D....

    awesome simply beautiful and great video

  43. K.... H....

    This is good song good history of the Confederate flag of the Confederates why should they take the Confederate flag down and part
    of history

    K.... H....

    +KELLY HUFFMAN  Keep in mind, you and I are the minority.  The majority who don't pay taxes, live on welfare, and use the system, are the ones who complain and get their way.   It's the US Government at it's finest...only the weak will survive. ...because they get the perks.  Taking down the Confederate flag in South Carolina was a sin, pure and simple.  Some day...people with brains will run the country again, and history will be able to enjoyed by all.

    K.... H....

    No Christian should ever pledge to a flag. Christian Southerners in particular should never pledge to the U.S. Flag.

  44. c.... d....

    THAT A GOOD SONG AND BETTER VIDEO THANKS

  45. F.... S....

    BUBBA=WHEN U THROW THE REST OF THE HODGIES 2 THE ALLIGATORS=BE CAREFUL=DONT SLIP=JUST KIDDING BUBBA=U KNOW ME=LEGEND OF THE SOUTH=LAST COWBOY=ATOM BOMBER JEB BUSH 2016=FS

  46. k.... n....

    Been to all the southern states except georgia its hot as hell in texas

    k.... n....

    Come out to Arizona in the summer.

    k.... n....

    Lived in Georgia and Arizona (Mesa) in the summer. AZ is hot, dry hot but Georgia heat is 110% humid. dog days in Georgia can be real suffocating.

  47. c.... f....

    this is one of the best songs that they made

  48. g.... j....

    one of the best time travel videos ive seen. next to tracy lawerance's vids.

  49. t.... 5....

    Love the song and it is true when you leave your love ones behind and if you're from the south or north or east or west it is always cold back at home

  50. K.... M....

    You are a good person! And I know some yankee folks that are wonderful as well. God bless you from the South!

  51. A.... Y....

    I'm a Yankee and I don't hate any Southerners. That hatred is from the city folk,in my neck of the woods there ain't any hatred for Southerners. God Bless ya.

    A.... Y....

    Bless u too brother

  52. T.... P....

    if the south woulda won we woulda had it made!!!

  53. s.... ....

    i disagree. i've been up north and i hate it. I'll stay in dixie land. fuck yankee's.

  54. A.... Y....

    I was born and raised in Minnesota and I couldn't agree with ya more about your comment. That is propaganda driven into us at a young age.

  55. r.... s....

    the south will rise agin fuck obama...

  56. K.... M....

    Race doesn't matter. Many races fought under the Confederate flag. It is a myth and Yankee propaganda to say otherwise.

  57. K.... M....

    No, people are not the same. We have two separate cultures even today. Back then it was even more so.

  58. K.... M....

    Congrats on the great ink!

  59. K.... M....

    The Confederate part, I mean. Or was it filmed just for the video?

  60. K.... M....

    What movie was this video taken from?

  61. g.... h....

    ive seen thousands of confederate flags displayed everywhere throughout my life including the one inked on my forearm........ive never, not once seen anyone anywhere display a civil war era union flag.............need i say more?

  62. O.... ....

    Ðis saung givz me chilz! Mæ ð' Souþ ryz agîn sumdæ!!!

  63. b.... ....

    wow Life without mayor doomberg and the dmn yankees Oh southern star. Love ya

  64. M.... ....

    We all lost, the war was the second revolution, over taxation, we're staring at a third, as Thomas Jefferson warned, the blood of patriots would be required to get the government under control, that's what the second amendment is for.

    M.... ....

    I'm. Thankful. For good people. Godly .. most witch. Is. 80 percent has. Lost morals and. Less than half the nation. Is white people .
    White people in the south are treated like. Shit from. Black. Men..

  65. T.... ....

    the world will be a better when the SOUTH WINS!

  66. d.... ....

    Hell yeah!! Yee haw!!!

  67. d.... ....

    I prefered "Three Verses of Dixie" from "Notorious" myself.But to each their own.

  68. d.... ....

    No.White or black,he's still going the wrong way and he is NOT helping this country any.

  69. J.... P....

    its not about north and south its about the people and country people are the same no matter where you live good god fearing people who know how to treat each other, love the lord, and work hard.ds

  70. 1.... ....

    it would have been horrible, the north and south would have spent 100 years fighting continuously kind of like north and south korea

  71. C.... M....

    So the guy leaves. The song says New York but he is in the !860s Civil War then a hobo then sitting in a bar then back home? Sounds great! lol Terrible concepts

  72. C.... M....

    Ignorant video. Worse I have ever seen has nothing to do with the song at all. What were they thinking?

  73. C.... O....

    "Summer in Dixie" was Confederate Railroad's first single to miss making the Top 40 in the United States. It only managed to get to #55, where as "Daddy Never Was The Cadillac Kind", and "Elvis and Andy", from the same album, made it to #9 and #20, respectively. It's kind of sad really, because this is probably the best song on the "Notorious" album in my opinion.

  74. L.... W....

    ITS TO LATE THIS COUNTRY IS FUCKED IF YOU WERE SMART DONT WORRY ABOUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND LOOK AT WHATS HAPPENING NOW ITS HARD LIVING NOW WHAT ABOUT OUR CHILDEREN OR OUR CHILDERENS CHILDERENS ITS TIME TO MAKE THAT CHANGE DANMIT

  75. j.... d....

    im gonna move from the north down south, move to virginia, or alabama!!!

  76. b.... ....

    I may be a Yankee, but I'm a Southerner at heart. :) I want to left the hell alone too. The Feds can screw off.

    As for your stupid rant, get off your soap box ya self-righteous, ignorant, douche! North and South are both involved in the same shit.

  77. B.... B....

    1 more thing,I laugh when I hear Stupid yankees,claim they saved the UNION,look around in 2012,what the FUCK was saved. we are almost as divided as we where in 1860.right hates left, red state hates blue state,Black Hates white, straights and gays hate each other. and things like political correctness has just about brought this republic to its knees,Feminism has destroyed the American Family,Jobs have been shipped Overseas,Not to return,and our Govt is more tyrannical than ever,WHAT WAS SAVED

  78. B.... B....

    Even though im a proud southerner, I do have issues with my South.if you are different in any way.you are treated like shit,Im not your typical Fox news viewing sheeple,that vote straight neo-con warmongering chicken hawks,as I hate the democrats and republicans equally, both are liars ,thieves and murderers.I try and get along with everyone.but Yankees for the most part are very abrasive,You can feel them looking down in disgust at you.just for being southern.Lastly,I enjoyed the video.

  79. c.... f....

    i get on here and all i see is yall biching and fighting about the nort and the south just get over it i lived in the south all my live and now i am up here in the north it is the same every were you go

  80. M.... ....

    Where did I call you a rebel, are you stupid or something my great grandfather was a Confederate soldier, he was wounded in VA and put in a prison camp, came home disabled. The law breakers were the yankee soldiers who looted the land, pillaged southern citizens, burned towns/homes to go home as heroes. What wasn't destroyed or stolen in the war was taken later by carpet baggers who swarmed in after!

  81. M.... ....

    Cherokees were mostly Confederate, Stand Waite, one of the greatest generals of the war decided to wage war with those who signed the treaty with Jackson when it was over.

  82. M.... ....

    Funny the we stole part, you guys fought over land amongst yourselves, you were beat by a greater number, but other than doing the Christian thing and living with you, the white government decided to gather you up and put in prison camps. The gov today is controlling with welfare, offer it and the people will vote for you, they turn a blind eye to illegals cause they look for future voters, gotta crush the constitution first. I'm not racist, I don't want to see this country fail

  83. C.... ....

    Im not exactly 100% white

  84. M.... ....

    The blacks cry reparations, talk about oppression as they live in gov housing, on food stamps collecting welfare checks, Indians in busted homes on reservations, doomed to alcoholism as there is nothing for them, forgotten in their own land. I'm believing your best interest is interracial relationships with either blacks or Spanish, it'll up your chances to get on the gold brick road! I'm not joking, sad, but the truth, illegal is the way to go, Indians are the same skin color, learn Spanish

  85. M.... ....

    I have some Cherokee in my family, they wanted to prove themselves civilized and go the white mans way, appeal to white mans court, took it to the supreme court and won, end result was Andrew Jackson's famous line to the court, "lets see them uphold it," followed by the Trail Of Tears! Indians got in the war of northern aggression on both sides hoping for freedom, how did the north repay for help, look where they live. Sherman had been doomed without their rescue when he was stuck in a bog!

  86. M.... ....

    There is a small part in "Gangs Of New York" that included the shelling of the city due to them refusing to join the union troops to fight in Lincolns war, upon my studies in high school for my term paper 20 years ago, I recall reading 2 placed shelled by the union up north for not simply following the order and enlisting. Not that history books would contain word on troops killing civilians who would not serve, after all, every northerner is to believe it was for freeing the colored man!

  87. M.... ....

    Sad fact everyone seems to miss, the empire created in 1861, it brought us to where we are now, a central power leading all states in the direction it see's fit, tax dollars collected from everyone is spent on what it deems as necessary. Tax your land, your income, your goods you buy, your goods you sell, when you die they tax again your estate which was taxed as you built it, just so those who inherit it pay! The south wanted freedom, north was supreme rule, not the definition of civil war!

  88. f.... ....

    The Irony in what you say is hysterical

  89. N.... W....

    april 4, 1865 appomatox, va lee gave an Unconditional Surrender to UNCONDITONAL SURRENDER GRANT. im from birmingam al the Heart of Dixie and damned proud of it. born and raised. the Lee was great in his own right, but not right in choosing his state over his country. west point educated with Grant, whom finished last in their class, should have had the forthought to know the north had the money. we all know money wins wars... im out holl GOD BLESS THE USA

  90. M.... P....

    @dandebonaire standing ovation.

  91. j.... l....

    THE NORTH STILL ONE!!!! WHOOP! we are the winners haha this is a good song tho

  92. d.... ....

    The south will rise...

  93. f.... ....

    @dandebonaire There are plenty of Northerners without a proper education on the civil war, but you sir are one ignorant southerner. Also I would like to ask who is "us" I met plenty of southerners in my life, never with the same geo-political as you. Speak for yourself, not all southerners, because I'd gander that most don't agree with what you have to say

  94. i.... ....

    @SuperArmymp if the founding fathers could've seen 200+ years into the future to catch a glimpse of what America is today... they'd be inconsolable, dejected, heartbroken, woeful, saddened and hopeless for the future generations. Bet they never dreamed a chosen few could muck it up so badly... Ye gods, America is circling the drain one charlatan at a time...

  95. k.... ....

    @dandebonaire o and you're talking for what 5% of the south, a southerner started our last war and dragged us Yankees into it.

  96. M.... ....

    Look into the shelling of New York by union troops, Lincoln ordered the damn near destruction of the city, because they refused to serve in his army, so much for 100% support in the war, there were even more across the north, some were called Bushwackers. The history books do not speak the truth, norther papers were censored to keep loyalty to the union, many believed it was the south's right to secede.

  97. M.... ....

    @dandebonaire The beloved yankee hero Sherman did atrocities that would court martial him today. We southerners were fighting for our homes, we were invaded by an army sent by a president we didn't vote for, he didn't get majority, he started the war, and did so due to the fact that 80% of the governments collected money was from taxing the south. They blockaded our ports, destroyed rail road lines, killed our cattle and burned our fields, what a bunch of humanitarians!

  98. M.... ....

    @dandebonaire Funny how in 1812 the upper states, Maine was one, were signing to secede into Canada, as it was legal, they were against the war, but the south has been demonized for doing it, it's supported by the constitution, was over heavy taxation, rather than slavery, but history books speak otherwise. History is written by the winner, to the victor go the spoils, and for all Americans, we all lost, look at todays government, that is what we were fighting, congratulations yankees!

  99. M.... M....

    @kidman1987 if you're coming down the east coast, I think the new mason dixon line would be somewhere just north of Richmond, Virginia. I mean, Im from Virginia, and we used to be very southern, but northern virginia is overrun with DC government workers, and you really dont feel the South there anymore.
