  • I wish I was in the land of cotton, Old times they 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.

    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 smiled as fierce as a forty-pound'er, Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.

    Smiles as big as cannon barrels. Bienvenue.
