Dixie

I wish I was in the land of cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten,
Look away, Look away, Look away,
Dixieland!
In Dixie's land where I was born,
In early on one frosty mornin',
Look away, Look away, Look away!
Dixieland!
Then I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray, Hooray!
In Dixie's Land I'll take my stand to live and die,
In Dixie, away, away, away, away, away,
In Dixie, away, away, away, away, away,
away down south in Dixie!

Ole Missus Mary "Will the Weaver",
Willium was a Gay Deceiver,
Look away, Look away, Dixieland!
But when he put his arm around 'er
Smile is fierce as a forty-pounder,
Look away, Look away, Look away, Dixieland!
Then I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray, Hooray!
In Dixie's Land I'll take my stand to live and die,
In Dixie, away, away, away, away, away,
In Dixie, away, away, away, 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, Dixieland!
Ole Missus acted a foolish part,
She died for a man that broke her heart,
Look away, Look away, Look away, Dixieland!
Then I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray, Hooray!
In Dixie's Land I'll take my stand to live and die,
In Dixie, away, away, away, away, away,
In Dixie, away, away, away, away, away,
away down south in Dixie!
In Dixie, away, away, away, away, away,
away down south in Dixie!

And a;; the gals that wants to kiss us,
Look away, Look away, Look away, Dixieland!
But if you want to drive away sorrow, come and here this song
tomorrow!
Look away, Look away, Look away, Dixieland!
Then I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray, Hooray!
In Dixie's Land I'll take my stand to live and die,
In Dixie, away, away, away, away, away,
away down south in Dixie!
In Dixie, away, away, away, away, away,
away down south in Dixie!

There buckwheat cakes and injun batter,
Makes you fat or little fatter!
Look away, Look away, Look away, Dixieland!
Then hoe it down and scratch your gravel,
To Dixieland I'm bound to travel!
Look away, Look away, Look away, Dixieland!
Then I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray, Hooray!
In Dixie's Land I'll take my stand to live and die,
In Dixie, away, away, away, away, away,
away down south in Dixie!
In Dixie, away, away, away, away, away,
away down south in Dixie!
