Lyrics
Well I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Look away, look away
Look away, Dixieland
In Dixie's land, where I was born in
Early on one frosty mornin'
Look away, look away
Look away, Dixieland
And I wish I was in Dixie
Hooray, hooray
In Dixie's land, I'll take my stand
And live and die in Dixie
Away, away
Away down south in Dixie
Away, away
Away down south in Dixie
Ole Missus married Will the weaver
William was a gay deceiver
Look away, look away
Look away, Dixieland
And when he put his arms around her
He smiled as fierce as a forty pounder
Look away, look away
Look away, Dixieland
And I wish I was in Dixie
Hooray, hooray
In Dixie's land, I'll take my stand
And 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 her
Look away, look away
Look away, Dixieland
But Ole Missus acted the foolish part
And she died for a man that broke her heart
So look away, look away
Look away, Dixieland
And I wish I was in Dixie
Hooray, hooray
In Dixie's land, I'll take my stand
And live and die in Dixie
Away, away
Away down south in Dixie
Away, away
Away down south in Dixie
Now here's to the health for the next door Missus
And all the gals that want to kiss us
Look away, look away
Look away, Dixieland
And if you want to drive away sorrow
Come and hear our song tomorrow
Look away, look away
Look away, Dixieland
And I wish I was in Dixie
