"Dixie"

O, I wish I was in the land of cotton


Old times there are not forgotten

Look away! Look away!

Look away! Dixie Land.



In Dixie Land where I was born in

Early on one frosty mornin'

Look away! Look away!

Look away! Dixie Land.



Chorus:

An', I wish I was in Dixie!

Hooray! Hooray!

In Dixie Land I took my stand

To live and die in Dixie

Away, away,

Away down south in Dixie!

Away, away,

Away down south in Dixie!



Old Missus marry Will, the weaver,

William was a gay deceiver

Look away! Look away!

Look away! Dixie Land.



But when he put his arm around her

He smiled as fierce as a forty pounder

Look away! Look away!

Look away! Dixie Land.



Chorus:

An', I wish I was in Dixie!

Hooray! Hooray!

In Dixie Land I took my stand

To live and die in Dixie

Away, away,

Away down south in Dixie!

Away, away,

Away down south in Dixie!



His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver

But that did not seem to grieve her

Look away! Look away!

Look away! Dixie Land.



Old Missus acted the foolish part

And died for a man that broke her heart

Look away! Look away!

Look away! Dixie Land.



Chorus:

An', I wish I was in Dixie!

Hooray! Hooray!

In Dixie Land I took my stand

To live and die in Dixie

Away, away,

Away down south in Dixie!

Away, away,

Away down south in Dixie!



An', I wish I was in Dixie!

Hooray! Hooray!

In Dixie Land I took my stand

To live and die in Dixie

Away, away,

Away down south in Dixie!

Away, away,

Away down south in Dixie!



Now here's a health to the next ole Missus

An' all the gals that want to kiss us;

Look away! Look away! Look away!

Dixie Land

But if you want to drive 'way sorrow

Come in and hear this song tomorrow

Look away! Look away! Look away!

Dixie Land



Chorus:

An', I wish I was in Dixie!

Hooray! Hooray!

In Dixie Land I took my stand

To live and die in Dixie

Away, away,

Away down south in Dixie!

Away, away,

Away down south in Dixie!



There's buckwheat cakes and Injun batter,

Makes you fat or a little fatter;

Look away! Look away! Look away!

Dixie Land



Then hoe it down and scratch your gravel,

To Dixie's Land I'm bound to travel,

Look away! Look away! Look away!

Dixie Land



Chorus:

An', I wish I was in Dixie!

Hooray! Hooray!

In Dixie Land I'll take my stand

To live and die in Dixie

Away, away,

Away down south in Dixie!



An', I wish I was in Dixie!

Hooray! Hooray!

In Dixie Land I'll take my stand

To live and die in Dixie

Away, away,

Away down south in Dixie!
