I wish I was in Dixie's Land


 * I wish I was in de land ob cotton,
 * Old times dar am not forgotten;
 * Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
 * In Dixie Land whar I was born in,
 * Early on one frosty mornin,
 * Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.


 * (Chorus)


 * Den I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray!
 * In Dixie Land, I'll took my stand,
 * To lib an die in Dixie,
 * Away, Away, Away down south in Dixie,
 * Away, Away, Away down south in Dixie.


 * Old Missus marry "Will-de-weaber,"
 * Willium was a gay deceaber;
 * Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
 * But when he put his arm around'er,
 * He smilled as fierce as a forty-pound'er,
 * Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.


 * (Chorus)


 * His face was sharp as a butchers cleaber,
 * But dat did not seem to greab'er;
 * Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
 * Old Missus acted de foolish part,
 * And died for a man dat broke her heart.
 * Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.


 * (Chorus)


 * Now here's a health to the next old Missus,
 * And all de galls dat want to kiss us;
 * Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
 * But if you want to drive 'way sorrow,
 * Come an hear dis song to-morrow.
 * Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.


 * (Chorus)


 * Dar's buck-wheat cakes an 'Ingen' batter,
 * Makes you fat or a little fatter;
 * Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
 * Den hoe it down an scratch your grabble,
 * To Dixie land I'm bound to trabble.
 * Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
