Lyrics

I wish I was in the land of cotton;

(F)old times there are not forgotten.

Look (C)away, look away, look (G7)away,

Dixie (C)Land.

In Dixie Land where I was born in he (F)early on as one frosty mornin' look (C)away,

look away, look (G7)away,

Dixie (C)Land.

Then I wish I was in (F)Dixie,

(D)hooray! (G7)Hooray!

In (C)Dixie Land I'll (F)take my stand,

to (C)live and die in (G7)Dixie.

(C)Away, (G7)away, (C)away down south in (G7)(C)Dixie.

Away, (G7)away, (C)away down south in (G7)(C)Dixie!

Old Missus marry the Will the weaver;

(F)William was a gay deceiver.

Look (C)away, look away, look (G7)away,

Dixie (C)Land.

But when he put his arm around her,

he (F)smiled as fierce as a forty pounder,

look (C)away, look away, look (G7)away,

Dixie (C)Land.

Then I wish I was in (F)Dixie,

(D)hooray! (G7)Hooray!

In (C)Dixie Land I'll (F)take my stand,

to (C)live and die in (G7)Dixie.

(C)Away, (G7)away, (C)away down south in (G7)(C)Dixie.

Away, (G7)away, (C)away down south in (G7)(C)Dixie!

Old (G7)(C)Dixie!
