One of the Opry's best, the late Grandpa Jones doing a great song! Kentucky is very proud to claim grandpa as one of its own, as is true for many former performers at the Grand Ole Opry. Grandpa grew up near Henderson, KY.

@Addiskrilla Well, when you are writing a song, and you want the verses to rhyme, sometimes you have to do what you have to do, and they probably couldn't figure out a way to make it work with "Virginia" in there somewhere. I haven't tried to figure that out myself, maybe somebody else could do it and write another verse to it or something. I don't think for one minute that anyone will seriously think of "Dixie" without including Virginia in it.

@Addiskrilla Absolutely. Virginia was the home of Robert E. Lee. Richmond was the capitol of the Confederate States during most of the war.

@LumberSree Well, I am glad that there is at least one college somewhere that is not afraid to be connected with Dixie and say so. I went to a big southern university and when I started there in 1968, the school band was called the "Dixie Redcoat Band" and then a few years later they changed it to the "Redcoat Band", removed "Dixie" from the name, just to appease the politically correct crowd.

@Addiskrilla Yessir... yessir it does!

@LumberSree Interesting. The chorus of the song was the melody of my high school fight song in the 1960s and 70s. I did not know until doing a search tonight that there was more to the song than just the chorus. I'm not sure why but the song faded out over the years but a group of us from that era will be going to homecoming to sing it again.

Does Virginia count too?

God bless anyone and everyone from Dixie.
