1. O, I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Look away! Look away!
Look away!
Dixie
Land
.
2. In
Dixie
Land
where I was born in
Early on one frosty mornin'
Look away! Look away!
Look away!
Dixie
Land
.
Refrain: O, 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!
3. Old Missus marry Will, the weaver,
William was a gay deceiver
Look away! Look away!
Look away!
Dixie
Land
.
4. But when he put his arm around her
He smiled as fierce as a forty pounder
Look away! Look away!
Look away!
Dixie
Land
.
Refrain: O, 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!
5. 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

6.
Old Missus acted the foolish part
And died for
a man that broke her heart
Look away!
Look away! Look away!
Dixie
Land
.
Refrain: O, 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!
