[erererer2]

[MadManWeed]

[toarmsindixie1861]

[BostonEm]

[ugotitpunk]

@BostonEm Notice no one writes any songs about New England...country songs at least...sure as hell NONE like this.

[justinjj8767]

[becky334]

I'AM SWEDISH AND SOUTHERN GIRL. OUTSTANDING VIDEO. I HOPE I'AM NOT RASITIC IF I SAY THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN.

[ugotitpunk]

Thank -you msdawn for this video and letting me reminice about times growing up in Dixie, years long past---and for all the fond memories of my kinfolk, the older generations all gone now. And for showing just what Southern pride and heritage is all about!! Thank-you again, it's a precious scrapbook of my youth in Dixie!!

[matilda628]

These guys were kings when I was in jr. high- their music brings back good feelings- I am not even Southern, but God bless every one of you.

[TexasDistortion]

God Bless the South!!!!

[KordaDonau68]

Being a Slavonian - from the-land-of-planty, part of great Panonian plain - I share the love and affection for a hard-working people of the Great South, good-natured folks of the Dixie - thus, I like this song as a some sort of anthem and tribute to the Dixie cause! Best wishes to MSDAWN84 and her good taste in music. God bless!

[drg120001]

I'm an Oklahoman and i know what tall cotton looks like.

[busterbone]

"High cotton" also means the need (mostly for women) to get out the razor for swimsuit season-unless it's just the family reunion, but then again. It's a good idea to get out the tight curls and lint first with a detangling shampoo.

[nothreats]

Love Alabama

[DurhamRebel]

haha, this song was playing and my dad said " high cotton, damn i was walkin in high shit."

[BostonEm]

your dad was a loser I see

[DurhamRebel]

ah, no , not really. see he worked on a horse farm and you can imagine how much shit there was, and thats were "walkin in high shit came from". he didnt say it in a bad way, more comical than anything.

[BostonEm]

[Boomer1947]

When you live in DIXIE you always walk in "High Cotton". Southern Pride can't be bought and can't be sold.

[TaylorANDSidAreBFFS]

[KyDove8]

I love this song too..I remember in the 60's chopping and picking cotton in Mo. It was 1990 the last year I chopped, already the mechanical pickers were being used, and then they started using more chemicals to kill the weeds too. I like seeing the old photos..they represent so many families before us..my family is Barnett, Cross, Davis..Thanks!

[UlvYngling]

I love the south, being Scandinavian, when going to the states I always want to go to the south. There is something about that part of the states, the culture there is warm and welcoming.

[msdawn84]

I am soooooooo happy to know that, you know my kids father is scandinavian, so I have a little of you here too! GOD BLESS ALWAYS

[isoldier1987]

leaving home is the hardest thing i ever faced. The second hardest thing will be leaving home agian when i leave my home for iraq

[alabamatribute]

I have posted my tribute to Alabama...Check it out! Danny Bingham/Sad Lookin Moon/Mountain Music/Give Me One More Shot

[crimsonjenni]

These men make me proud to be a Southern woman. For you that don't know, the words to this song still ring true. Leaving home is the hardest thing we ever faced.

[wmichswingers]

I moved to Texas from Michigan after 35 years there (born there) and I feel like I've come home...

[trustusyeahright]

man i miss it down in dixie.

[luckyjopot]

nice video and the combination of old compilation ...what was happened to our ancestral race when where not hard working? very inspirational with meaning too...

[lynnlynn420]

awesomee memoriess

[HDbiikerchick]

What a wonderful heritage this country shares. We were so privileged to have ancestors who were hard working and willing to fight in what they believed in. You did a very nice job on this video. I love the old photographs. We live in the north, but have civil war ancestors who are from the south.

[Rachel1949]

Thank you for each video that you have posted on the Civil War and the south. This southerner appreciates all of them. Seems as sometimes we forget our heritage, so much has been taken away. Thank you for the reminder.

[kat2bu]

i love these guys!

[Airforcebound12]

Alabama the true country music!!!!

[dallasandrew]

Hell yea! Southern music!

[sexydecayed69]

Very nice video and i love those wonderful old images You used.

I am originaly from the south Myself and I remember visiting several of the old Civil War battle sites and places where old homesteads once stood and feeling a wonderful since of nostalgia and greatness.

[JohnnyO1977]

They can never kill our spirit...f them..

[nikolisjcurtis]

Absolutely Wonderful. Deo Vindice!

[JohnnyO1977]

or sister..

[JohnnyO1977]

hell yes brother!

[sanseuikitty]

i love this song, awesome video, southern pride ^^

[huntinkid11]

hell yeah

southern pride!!!

[RiverBirch1967]

P.S. I hope it is alright that I vlogged this on my channel.

[msdawn84]

You bet I want you to use it where ever you feel it can be of good use, showing and telling what we know and feel..thank you so much my dear friend....and yes I was trying to tie together all of those things that no one sees they only assume one part of us...your on it and I love you!!

[RiverBirch1967]

There is something about this video that is different from the rest on YT. It touches on heritage and pride, but also something else in the soul. Something deeply Southern in a person's soul, something inexplicable. You have tied together so many things in one video that it is incredible. You defined us.

[bootleggersouth]

The 'Salt of the Earth Rural Southerner'--the culture that will survive when all others have passed away from being too finicky and too technology-dependent. Thank you for your skillful depiction of this oft-maligned, oft-neglected group. Great Job!

[RiverBirch1967]

I cannot possibly reply to this right now, properly, because I am so moved. I've been on YT for a year and this is the video that has brought me to weeping.

[msdawn84]

I am just so happy that you feel my work the way I feel it when I make it, thank you so much for the heart and soul you have

[RiverBirch1967]

The gentleman at 0:44 mesmerizes me.

[TexarkanaBraveheart]

Awesome Vid.thats soem great pics. really makes you proud to be southern.I couldnt imagine being born anywhere else

[msdawn84]

I agree completely, how empty my life would be without my roots

[odinfromcentr2]

Most of my heritage comes from here in the North, but I've found a few roots in the South - the Ellis family of South Carolina and later Tennesee and Iowa, the Bird family of North Carolina, the Brock family, presumably of Virginia, and the Cummins family, more concretely from Virginia, but that was all from 200 years ago.
