YouTube at least so far has left a lot of Confederate-themed songs alone; most likely the woke kids don't know them to look for them (who under 40 has even heard of Johnny Horton?). It is kind of surprising, in a way, some of the legitimately offensive content that remains there as well (e.g., D.A.C.'s x-rated songs are available).
This song, though, isn't offensive at all; it's about a couple of hippies and their dog traveling across country from Georgia to Los Angeles, and then longing for the road again. It's just an old song I hadn't heard in many years, but I remember it.
By the way, just to be clear, none of you should look up DAC's X-rated songs. They're exactly as described, but worse, and you'll definitely be offended if you're capable. They were offensive in the 70s when he wrote them.

"Dixieland" was actually a minstrel song written by a Northerner.

So I've heard.

I remember this song- but not this version- rather it was the version by Lobo. My brother had the 45.
It's interesting that I don't remember that version, since apparently it was a big hit. I wonder if the Stonewall Jackson version was locally popular?
I'm sure our regional differences had a lot to do with it. I certainly never knew of the Stonewall Jackson version!
