It was a faction of the Army of the Cumberland The 15th Army Corp Just a few years back they were a bunch of boys Who'd never left home before But the shame of Chickamauga And so hungry they could almost die Without any order from the general They clamored up the mountainside (They clamored up the mountainside) Don't go whistlin' Dixie on Missionary Ridge Don't call to arms those poltergeists to open up the casket lids You'll wake those boys to wander among the old carnage So don't go whistlin' Dixie on Missionary Ridge On the 25th of November It happened in the broad daylight Gazing down on Chattanooga Bragg did not foresee the fight Outnumbered the Blue Coats two to one He tucked his tail to flee The Union broke the Confederate line And marched south to the sea (Marched south to the sea) Don't go whistlin' Dixie on Missionary Ridge Don't call to arms those poltergeists to open up the casket lids You'll wake those boys to wander among the old carnage So don't go whistlin' Dixie on Missionary Ridge In the stillness of the morning When you breathe the mountain air The chill that you will feel Reminds you of what happened there When the light drips down the mountain And the fog lifts from its face The darkness of that memory lies buried in a sunny place So don't go whistlin' Dixie on Missionary Ridge Don't call to arms those poltergeists to open up the casket lids You'll wake those boys to wander among the old carnage So don't go whistlin' Dixie on Missionary Ridge
