Daniel Decatur Emmett - (I Wish I Was in) Dixie's Land) lyrics

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 Early on one frosty morn' 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 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 her He smiled as fierce as a forty pounder 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 Away, away, away down south in Dixie 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 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 Away, away, away down south in Dixie Now here's a health to the next old Missus An all the girls 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 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 Away, away, away down south in Dixie
