"Dixie", also known as "I Wish I Was in Dixie", "Dixie's Land", and other
titles, is a popular American song. It is one of the most distinctively
American musical products of the 19th century, and probably the best-known
song to have come out of blackface minstrelsy. Although not a folk song at
its creation, "Dixie" has since entered the American folk vernacular. The
song likely cemented the word "Dixie" in the American vocabulary as a
toponym for the Southern United States.
