Gee. I am an Ohio girl too, a Northerner, but never get nervous when people are singing Dixie. It is just an old folk song now, kinda like "The Battle Hymn of the Republic". We were taught both of them in seventh grade glee club. History. Just history.

Away, away, away dowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn South in Dixie...
