As I walked through the woods on a cold winter's eve
I hear voices far away, seemed so hard to believe
That I hear these conversations with my very own ears
Because I'm standin' all alone, not another soul is near

I though I heard a young boy say "daddy what we do
With these brand new coats of gray that they given me and you?"
He said "boy, that coat represents our great southern land
So wear it with pride, one day I know you'll understand"
I though I heard a woman say "husband I love you,
I'll be waiting right here to greet you when the war's through"
I heard the man reply "My dear don't worry I'll be fine,
I promise I'll be home it's just a matter of time."

Southern wind blow on through our unforgotten land
Here today and the yesteryear, reunited once again
Hear the cry of confederates lost many years ago
Cannons, thunder and a lonesome locomotive whistle blow
Share your pride inside with your fellow rebel souls
Hear their stories from beyond the grave so many left untold
Keep Dixie Land alive in your heart and in your mind
Southern wind blows once again and will until the end of time

I heard a fire crackling far away from where I stood
I heard so many southern strangers form a perfect brotherhood
I hear horses rumble carrying the soldiers off to fight
Gunshots pierce the silence of a common quiet night
I hear a yelling fade away as a man draws his final breath
And with his rifle and his honor he falls down to his death
I hear hell on earth and battle raids beneath dark eastern skies
Brothers telling one another their ultimate goodbyes

Southern wind blow on through our unforgotten land
Here today and the yesteryear, reunited once again
Hear the cry of confederates lost many years ago
Cannons, thunder and a lonesome locomotive whistle blow
Share your pride inside with your fellow rebel souls
Hear their stories from beyond the grave so many left untold
Keep Dixie Land alive in your heart and in your mind
Southern wind blows once again and will until the end of time

"After four years of arduous service marked by unsurpassed courage and fortitude, the Army of Northern Virginia has been compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources.
I need not tell the brave survivors of some many hard fought battles who have remained steadfast to the last that I have consented to this result from no distrust of them.
But feeling that valor and devotion could accomplish nothing that could compensate for the loss that must have attended the continuance of the contest, I determined to avoid the useless sacrifice of those whose past services have endeared them to their countrymen.
By the terms of the agreement, officers and men can return to their homes and remain until exchanged. (...)"

I heard a young boy cry as he fell down to his knees
He said "Jesus, let my father rest in peace, I beg you please"
I hear a young boy cry as he took his father's hand
"Daddy, now I understand that a boy became a man"
I heard a woman open up her front door all alone
She receives news her husband will not be returning home
I heard a woman break down and pray to God in scream
What I feel is so real it's in the air, it's not a dream

Southern wind blow on through our unforgotten land
Here today and the yesteryear, reunited once again

Southern wind blows once again and will until the end of time

"(...)You will take with you the satisfaction that proceeds from a consciousness of duty faithfully performed; and I earnestly pray that a Merciful God will extend to you His blessings and protection.
With an unceasing admiration of your constancy and devotion to your Country, and a grateful remembrance of your kind and generous consideration for myself, I bid you all an affectionate farewell." (General Robert E. Lee)
