Dixie

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
Early on one frosty morn
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

With one kiss she married Will the Weaver
But William was a sly deceiver
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie land

And when he put his arm around her
He 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

His face was as sharp as a butcher's cleaver
But that did not seem to grieve her
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie land

With one kiss she 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 (away), away (away), away (away)
Away down South in Dixie
