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 mornin'
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
There's buckwheat cakes and Injun batter
Makes you fat or a little fatter
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land
Then hoe it down and scratch your gravel
To Dixie's Land I'm bound to travel
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
