                           DIXIE LAND

  1 I wish I was in de land ob cotton,

     Old times dar am not forgotten,

     Look away ! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.

     In Dixie Land whar’ I was born in,

     Early on one frosty mornin',

     Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.

  
  

         Den I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray!

          In Dixie Land I'll take my stand

          To lib and die in Dixie;

          Away, Away, Away down south in Dixie,

          Away, Away, Away down south in Dixie.

  
  

  2 Old Missus marry Will, de weaber,

     Willium was a gay deceaber;

     Look away! Look away I Look away! Dixie Land.

     But when he put hs arm around 'er

     He smiled as fierce as a forty pounder,

     Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.

  
  

  3 His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaber,

     But dat did not seem to greab 'er;

     Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.

     Old Missus acted the foolish part,

     And died for a man dat broke her heart,

     Look away ! Look away! Look away ! Dixie Land.

  
  

  4 Now here's health to the next old Missus,

     And all de gals dat want to kiss us;

     Look away ! Look away! Look away ! Dixie Land.

     But if you want to drive ’way sorrow,

     Come and hear dis song tomorrow,

     Look away ! Look away I Look away ! Dixie Land.

  
  

  5 Dar's buck-wheat cakes an' Ingen' batter,

     Makes you fat or a little fatter;

     Look away ! Look away! Look away ! Dixie Land.

     Den hoe it down an' scratch your grabble,

     To Dixie's land I'm bound to trabble,

     Look away! Look away! Look away I Dixie Land.
