DIXIE

I WISH I WAS IN DE LAND OF 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.

CHORUS
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-WEAVER,"
WILLIAMS 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 FORTH POUNDER.
LOOK AWAY! LOOK AWAY! LOOK AWAY! DIXIE LAND.

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.

NOW HERE'S A HEALTH TO THE NEXT OLD MISSUS
AND ALL THE GALS THAT WANT TO KISS US;
LOOK AWAY! LOOK AWAY! LOOK AWAY! DIXIE LAND.
BUT IF YOU WANT TO DRIVE AWAY SORROW,
COME AND HEAR THIS SONG TOMORROW,
LOOK AWAY! LOOK AWAY! LOOK AWAY! DIXIE LAND.

THERE'S BUCKWHEAT CAKES AND INJUN BATTER,
MAKES YOU FAT OR A LITTLE FATTER;
LOOK AWAY! LOOK AWAY! LOOK AWAY! DIXIE LAND.
THEN HOE IT DOWN AND SCRATCH YOUR GRAVEL
TO DIXIE'S LAND I'M BOUND TO TRAVEL,
LOOK AWAY! LOOK AWAY! LOOK AWAY! DIXIE LAND.

LOOK AWAY! LOOK AWAY! LOOK AWAY! DIXIE LAND.

LOOK AWAY! LOOK AWAY! LOOK AWAY! DIXIE LAND.
