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’s Land, where I was born in, 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

Ole Missus marry “Will the weaver”,
Willum was a gay deceiver
Look away, Look away, Look away, Dixie Land
But when he put his arm around ‘er, he smiled fierce as a forty pounder,
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

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
Ole Missus acted the foolish part, and died for a man that broke her heart
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

Now here’s to the health to the next ole Missus,
an’ all the gals that want to kiss us;
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land
But if you want to drive ‘way sorrow,
come and hear this song tomorrow
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.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.
Away, away, away down south in Dixie
