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
*
