Dixie

Oh 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!

Oh 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!
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!
And when he put his arm around ‘er,
Smiled as fierce as a forty-pounder,
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land!

Oh 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!
Away! Away! Away down South in Dixie!

His face was sharp as a butcher’s cleaver,
But that did not seem to grieve ‘er,
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land!
Ole Missus acted the foolish part,
And died for a man that broke her heart,
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land!

Oh 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!
Away! Away! Away down South in Dixie!

Now here’s a health to the next ole Missus,
And all the gals that want to kiss us;
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land!
But if you want to drive away sorrow,
Come and hear our song tomorrow,
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land!

Oh 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!
Away! Away! Away down South in Dixie!

Dar’s buckwheat cakes an’ Injun batter,
Makes you fat or a little fatter;
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land!
Den hoe it down and scratch your grabble,
To Dixie Land I’m bound to trabble,
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land!

Oh 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!
Away! Away! Away down South in Dixie!
