OMG. I think Larry Micheals explains it pretty good.
A fan asked if the wording in the "Hail to the Redskins" song is "Fight for all DC", "Fight for old DC", or "Fight for ole DC."
I thought Larry said it originally was "Fight for old Dixie" but was changed to "Fight for ole DC." The fan said he would prefer "Fight for all DC."
Personally I thought it always was "Fight for ole DC." This is how I sing the song. In any nutshell it's pretty bad we are so bored we are left talking about one word in a fight song. lol. When I first heard the question I thought who the "F" cares. But for whatever reason it keep rearing it's ugly head.
Here's the reference more into why it changed over the yrs.

TheHogs.net has these two versions both old and new version.

So apparently I've been singing it wrong, but "ole" and "old" basically are the same thing. It's just one is more of a southern word.
