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
*
Then 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 de weaber
Willium was a gay deceiver
Look away ! Look away !
Look away ! Dixie Land
But when he put his arm around her
He smil'd as fierce as a forty pounder
Look away ! Look away !
Look away ! Dixie Land

His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver
But dad 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
*
