Over deze songtekst:

Daniel Decatur Emmett, een Amerikaanse songwriter, schreef het lied in 1859.

Dixie staat voor de Zuideijke Verenigde Staten. Het is voor de Zuidelijke Staten een soort volkslied. Populair gedurende de Amerikaanse burgeroorlog. Het was voor President Abraham Lincoln een van zijn favoriete liederen en hij gebruikte het regelmatig tijdens zijn politieke bijeenkomsten.

Het is een zogenaamde Confederatie song.

Well, 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 morning
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land

Well, 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, the weaver
William was a gay deceiver
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.

But when he put his arm around her
He smiled as fierce as a forty pounder
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.

Well, 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!

His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver
But that 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.

Well, 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!

Well, 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 morning
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land

Well, 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!
