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 in

Early on one frosty mornin'

Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land

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

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

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

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
