When Robert E Lee surrended the Confederacy Jefferson Davis was upset about itHe said how dare that man resent an orderForm the president of the Confederate States of AmericaThen somebody told him that General Lee had made the decision himselfIn order to save lives because he felt that the battle comin' upWould cost about 20 000 lives on both sidesAnd he said 240 000 dead already is enoughSo this song is not about the North or the South but about the bloody brother warBrother against brother father against son the war that nobody wonAnd for all those lives that were saved I gotta say Dod bless Robert E LeeWell the mansion where the General used to live is burning downCottonfields are blue with Sherman's troupsI overheard a yankee say yesterday Nashville fellSo I'm on my way to join the fight General Lee might need my helpBut look away look away Dixie I don't want them to seeWhat they're doing to my Dixie God bless Robert E LeeSherman's troups burned Atlanta and the flames lit up the skyAnd those of us who survived it are watchin' my Dixie dieBut today at Appamattox General Lee sat downAnd surrended to the yankees and Ulysees S GrantSo look away look away Dixie...I won't ever stop loving you my Dixie till they put me in the groundAnd the last words they probably hear from me are God bless Robert E Lee
