Dixie's land

Lyrics

Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton,
 Old times there are not forgotten, (Alt Original: Cinnamon seed and sandy bottom,)
 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.
 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
 Optional s
 Ole Missus marry "Will the weaver"
 Willum was a gay deceiver
 Look away! Look away! Look away!
 Dixie Land
 But when he put his arm around 'er,
 He smiled fierce as a forty 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 'er
 Look away! Look away! Look away!
 Dixie Land
 Ole 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 ole Missus
 An' all the gals that want to kiss us;
 Look away! Look away! Look away!
 Dixie Land
 But if you want to drive 'way 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
