I wish I was in de land of cotton,
Old times they 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)
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.
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'er,
He smiled as fierce as a forty-pound'er,
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
(Chorus)
His face was sharp as a butchers cleaver,
But that did not seem to grieve her;
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
Old Missus acted de 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 'way sorrow,
Come an hear this song to-morrow.
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
(Chorus)
Dars buckwheat cakes an' ingen batter,
Makes you fat or a little fatter;
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
Den hoe it down and scratch your grabble,
To Dixie land I'm bound to travel.
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land
