You Ain't Just Whistlin' Dixie

[Fenianboyo]

I had forgotten the greatness of this song from my childhood. Brought back so many memories of the trip my folks took my little brother and I on when I was 13, to as many Battlefields as we could fit in on our way from Texas, through Louisianna, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee. I was a student of the War of Northern Aggression back then. This trip gave me a true love and appreciation of Dixie. Thank you for putting this together....God Bless Dixie!! God Bless Texas!

[dandebonaire]

Im in North Dakota because of work, and I miss home so bad....

[20rich02]

@dandebonaire. I hear ya loud and clear. Im also in a way different place. Each time I listen to this song I sit here with tears in my eyes.Its called home sick. Yes, if thats the way of life that your used to livin, it does get quite touchy when yer listening to this kind of music. But theres always a way back and if its just on vacation. Theres nothing that would ever part me from the things I grew up with. Keep faith and pride and leave everythang else behind. Take care guy.

[20rich02]

@20rich02 I´ll be goin back to Texas and Im planing to stay with my father till the end of his days. I lived in Texas before and I really love that place from the bottom of my heart. Thats why I said before, country comes from the heart. Not only a few things Im in love with in Texas, alot of things Im in love with in Texas. Yes dad, i will always love you. Your son!!

[itsmefarting]

[ghhtdesfh]

Thanks for postin'. Absolutely beautiful!

[jddurden]

This song could be the greatest southern song ever written....I'm deep southern Ga, and this song represents everyone I know and have ever been around. Atlanta is NOT Ga. Its a whole differnt world and DOES NOT represent what Ga is all about, I promise u that!!!!!

[albinotatertot]

Im a South Carolina boy and I am proud of my Confederate ancestors!!!!!

[TheOkieDuck]

I love the son and I love the slide show... other than the cattle pic which looks like New Mexico.

[trevorjohnstevens]

Southern to the bone.

[N5VAG]

Deo Vindice

[SuperHoppy69]

LONG LIVE THE SOUTH AND GENERAL ROBERT >E >LEE !!!

[acdcrocksmorethanu]

i wish i could have lived back when the south and north were aginst each other. im a southern boy, and im gonna die one too.

[pheildcorn]

the south all way

[austinga05]

Long live the South!

[bigbubba941]

i wanna know who thinks this is racist! Where in this song does it say that whites, or any other race for that matter, are superior to any other race. The definition of racism, according to websters dictionary is "a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race" where in this song is one race saying its superior to another?!?

[Fladixiegirl]

AWESOME Song and Love the end of this slide-show!!! Good job!

[pattypence]

Dang I love this song. I'm a 7th generation Texan and might proud of Dixie. This is a song about heritage, not hate. I'm having a hard time understanding how anyone finds this song racist. It just makes me sad to see all those beautiful images and then to consider it all covered in oil.

[coolsouthernrain75]

What a great video !!!!

[cbowman61]

we take easy down here

[jkingsmill]

Why is being proud of your heritage racist? I am a Texan who has a mom from Mississippi and a dad from Tennessee. There is a black history month. We celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Texas (ironic since we won independence from Mexico). What makes them celebrating their heritage not racist and southerners celebrating theirs so? It's a double standard.

[xxmoonliight]

this has to be the most racist song I've ever heard.

[rubbersole79]

@achzdck ......sooo......all "yanks" are the same, huh?

you sound like an ignorant asshole.

[serendipiteey01]

Ok Heidi - so i ain't just whistlin' dixie - LOL!

[dixiegirl4Him]

Love the song, love Dixie! Southern by the grace of God! The South was right! Deo Vindice!

[gomroughneck]

This LOUISIANA boy will alway defend DIXIE!!

[rubbersole79]

@gomroughneck ....from what?

[golfitogene]

Well here I am after so many years...still listening to some of the GREATES MUSIC ever played...even here in Costa Rica where I live the Bellamy Bros are known...and when I'm out doing my KARAOKE THING I always do a couple of these songs....gotta love this music....

[hicktown13]

[IslandersMets10]

[parker8326]

and im also from the north mountainous of the philippines, now if you want to go there a lot of unforgetable site for you to see

[parker8326]

im from the philippine and i wonder is there a discrimination between north and the south are they not desame, i thought its not to be argue with just to be a one place, the said is just to put a comment from the song whether you like or not.

[spaz42o]

bluegrassreb im from the north and im more courty then most southern boys.

[ShirlM727]

if this song doesn't make you proud to be southern then you can just go to hell in new york city! Virginia born, Virgina Bred and Virginia is where I will die!

[southernbumpkin123]

nicely said bluegrassreb.

[Trainspotting99]

God bless the south!

[thefirstque]

[travis92222]

[Mopar21277]

What a song, incredible musical clarity and quality for 1979 in country music.

I'm a Yankee, but I totally understand states' rights, free of an overpowering Federal gov't, much like today.

[Gompababyy69]

[ccmjs]

My favorite Bellamy Brothers song.

[gomroughneck]

"We could have pursued no other course without dishonor. And sad as the results have been, if it had all to be done again, we should be compelled to act in precisely the same manner." --- Robert E. Lee

[billbowski1979]

i went to georgia when i was 4 and met my grandparents for the first time near columbus and 1 of the only things i can remember is this song playing on the radio and its never left my mind since then its about the only thing i can remember from that trip 25 years ago but it is one of the best memories i have from my childhood

[okconfederate]

Excellent video, Patti! It must be, because it brought tears to my eyes in a good way. That doesn't happen very often.

"Governor, if I had foreseen the use these people desired to make of their victory, there would have been no surrender at Appomattox, no, sir, not by me. Had I seen these results of subjugation, I would have preferred to die at Appomattox with my brave men, my sword in this right hand."

-- General Robert E. Lee, CSA, told to Texas ex-governor F. W. Stockdale, August 1870

[ramey58]

R.E.Lee's funeral was Oct. 15, 1870. I wish we had men like that here today.

[FloridaBoy5315]

This is my absolute most favorite song ever.Long live Howard and David Bellamy!!!!!

[DarkWorldReaper]

this song is georgeous!!!!!!!!

[Blakkaldur]

Beautyful song!

[linny1957]

[momkit]

[IAMTheWarthog]

Tyler, Tx Checking in.

I'm not a big country and western fan, but this song is one of my favorite songs, period. It transcends genres for a suthun boy.

Outstanding job with the pics guys.

[ramey58]

Glad to see you liked it. Mark in Fort Worth.

[ramey58]

It's hard to find a genre for this one. When it came out, nobody knew if it was rock, pop or country. The confusion continues.

[momkit]

hey this is such a great video these guys need more awards there great .

[VA24541]

Great job. Howard & David deliver every time.

[southernrevband]

This is a Great song!! Makes me look back on my Life here in east texas..North east of houston (Livingston).Pretty much word for word..& Great job on the video..Great picture selection.!!!Awsome job!!!!!

[oldcountrytunes]

Excellent video. Ramey & Kevin, you guys are from "my neck of the woods". I live in Ft Worth at this time. This is an outstanding video. Thanks to Zaarithia for sharing with me.

[ramey58]

I'm not just in the neck of the woods, I live in Fort Worth.

[oldcountrytunes]

How about in the house across the street?

[ramey58]

Can't I get some credit, Marcus? I shared it with Zaar before you got it.

[oldcountrytunes]

That's what we call the dominoe effect. It's up to Zaar to give you the credit.

[zaaritha]

Thanks! Great.

[marmite165]

thanks ramey for this vid,its a lovely song lovely video and thanks again appreciated,

[ramey58]

Wonderful song and I'm happy to find it.

[Stronghurst]

This song reminds me of the red Alabama earth, the heavenly smells drifting from my grandmother's kitchen, quiet summer nights swinging to and fro on the front porch glider and the sweet faces of all those loving kinfolk who are so long gone from this life.

[pgcowboy2]

gotta say thats the best comment ive ever read

[gomroughneck]

Well said!!

[ramey58]

Me too, Stronghurst.I was born in Huntsville and still have relatives there. Love your comment, Mark

[ramey58]

When I sing this song at karaoke, I change Carolina to Alabama, Mississipi....

[gsjunkie]

PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE POLITICAL COMMENTS. Thanks

[Goldfischle]

a really great video to this beautiful song 5*****

[wkmcmillan]

That song is special to me. My grandfather played it over and over when I was little so that I could sing it to him. It makes me tear up every time I hear it.

[TimShred]

If you spent much time in Pasco county where the Bellamys live you know they were singin about that special place.
