[Verse 1]
Well, 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's Land, where I was born in
Early on one frosty mornin'
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land

[Chorus]
And I wish I was in Dixie, hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie's 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

[Verse 2]
Ole Missus marry "Will the Weaver"
William was a gay deceiver
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land
And when he put his arms around 'er
'Smiled fierce as a forty pounder
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land

[Chorus]
And I wish I was in Dixie, hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie's 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

[Verse 3]
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
But Ole Missus acted the foolish part
And died for a man that broke her heart
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land

[Chorus]
And I wish I was in Dixie, hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie's 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

[Verse 4]
Now here's to the health of the next Ole Missus
An' all the gals that want to kiss us
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land
And if you want to drive away sorrow
Come and hear our song tomorrow
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land

[Chorus]
And I wish I was in Dixie, hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie's 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
[Verse 5]
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

[Chorus]
And I wish I was in Dixie, hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie's 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

[Verse 1]
Well, 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's Land, where I was born in
Early on one frosty mornin'
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land

[Chorus]
And I wish I was in Dixie, hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie's 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
