Oh, 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
verses:
Oh, 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
(chorus)
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
(chorus)
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
(chorus)
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
