Dixie
Original Key: Bb Major MP3
This classic American song from the time of minstrel shows will always be associated with the American South and the Civil War. Perfect for teaching children about the Confederate South. This is a simple, pastoral orchestral accompaniment with three verses.
I wish I was in the land of cotton. Old time there are not forgotten.
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
In Dixie 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.
Old Missus married Will the weaver. William was a gay deciever.
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
But when he put his arm around her, he smiled as fierce as a forty-pound'er.
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 her.
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
Old 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.
