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!
