Dixie
[Verse 1]
I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land

[Verse 2]
In Dixie Land where I was born
Early on one frosty mornin'
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land

[Chorus]
Now, 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

[Fiddle Solo]

[Verse 3]
Way down south in the land of traitors
Rattlesnakes and alligators
Look away! Look away!
Come away, Dixie Land
[Verse 4]
Where cotton's king, and men herd cattle
Union boys will win the battle
Look away! Look away!
Come away, Dixie Land

[Chorus]
I wish I was in Dixie
Away! Away!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away! Away!
Way down south in Dixie
Away! Away!
Way down south in Dixie

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
Thеre our stars and stripes still wave
Forеver on the free and brave
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land

[Verse 6]
And that our motto ever be
For union and for liberty
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I was in Dixie
Away! Away!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away! Away!
Way down south in Dixie
Away! Away!
Way down south in Dixie

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]
I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land

[Verse 2]
In Dixie Land where I was born
On one cold and frosty morn
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land

[Chorus]
Now, I wish I was in Dixie
Away! Away!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away! Away!
Way down south in Dixie
Away! Away!
Way down south in Dixie
