As I Emwalk through the woods on a Dcold winters eve,
I hear Gvoices far away, it seems so Bhard to believe,
That I Emhear these conversations with my Dvery own ears,
Because Im Gstanding all alone, not anBother soul is near,
A|-3p2---|
E|-----3-|
I Emthought I heard a young boy say "dDaddy what do we do,
with these Gbrand new coats of grey, that they've Bgiven me and you",
He said "Emboy that coat represents our Dgreat southern land,
so Gwear it with pride oneday I Bknow you'll understand",
I Emthought I heard a woman say, "Dhusband I love you,
I'll be Gwaiting right here to greet you, Bwhen the war is through",
I Emheard the man reply, "my dear dont Dworry I'll be fine,
I Gpromise I'll be home its just a Bmatter of time",
Chorus:
Southern Gwind blow on, through our Dunforgotten land,
Here toAday and yesteryear are reunCited once again,
Here the Gcry of Confederates lost Dmany years ago,
Cannons Athunder and a lonesesome locoCmotive whistle blows,
Share your Gpride inside with your Dfellow rebel souls,
Hear their Astories from beyond the grave, so Cmany left untold,
Keep Gdixieland alive in your Dheart and in your mind,
Southern Awind blows once again and will unCtil the end of GtiF#mmeEm

A Emheard a fire crackling, far aDway from where I stood,
I heard so Gmany southern strangers form a Bperfect brotherhood,
I hear Emhorses rumble, carrying their Dsoldiers off to fight,
Gunshots Gpierce the silence of a Bcold and quiet night,
I hear Emyelling fade away as a man Ddraws his final breath,
With his Grifle and his honor, he Bfalls down to his death,
I hear Emhell on earth, and battle rage beDneath dark eastern skies,
Brothers Gtelling one another their Bultimate goodbyes,

He said "GJesus let my father rest in Bpeace I beg you please",
I Emheard this young boy cry as he Dtook his fathers hand,
"Daddy Gnow I understand"- and then a Bboy became a man,
I Emheard a woman open up her Dfront door all alone,
She reGcieves news that her husband will not Bbe returning home,
I Emheard a woman break down and Dpray to God and scream,
What I Gfeel it is so real, it's in the Bair, its not a dream,
