Dixie (song)

Mid-19th century American minstrel song

"Dixie", also known as "Dixie's Land", "I Wish I Was in Dixie", and by other titles, is a song first published in 1860 that is strongly associated with the Southern United States. It was not a folk song at its creation but has since entered the American folk vernacular. The song popularized the word Dixie in the American vocabulary as a nickname for the South.
