Dixie piano and tin whistle notes
I (D)wish I was in the land of cotton,
(G)Old times dar am not forgotten,
Look a(D)way! Look away! Look a(A)way! Dixie (D)Land.
In (D)Dixie Land whar' I was born in,
(G)Early on one frosty mornin',
Look a(D)way! Look away! Look a(A)way! Dixie (D)Land.

Chorus
Den I (D)wish I was in (G)Dixie, Hoo-(Em)ray! Hoo-(A)ray!
In (D)Dixie land, I'll (G)take my stand to (D)live and die in (A)Dixie;
A(D)way, a(A)way, a(D)way down south in Dixie,
A(D)way, a(A)way, a(D)way down south in Dixie.

Old (D)Missus marry Will-de-weaber,
(G)Willium was a gay deceaber; 
Look a(D)way! Look away! Look a(A)way! Dixie (D)Land.
But (D)when he put his arm around 'er
(G)Smiled as fierce as a forty-pounder,
Look a(D)way! Look away! Look a(A)way! Dixie (D)Land.

Chorus

His (D)face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver,
But (G)dat did not seem to greab 'er;
Look a(D)way! Look away! Look a(A)way! Dixie (D)Land.
Old (D)Missus acted the foolish part,
And (G)died for a man dat broke her heart,
Look a(D)way! Look away! Look a(A)way! Dixie (D)Land.

Chorus

Now (D)here's a health to the next old Missus,
And (G)all the gals dat want to kiss us;
Look a(D)way! Look away! Look a(A)way! Dixie (D)Land.
But (D)if you want to drive 'way sorrow,
(G)Come and hear dis song to-morrow,
Look a(D)way! Look away! Look a(A)way! Dixie (D)Land.

Chorus

Dar's (D)buckwheat cakes an' Injun batter,
(G)Makes you fat or a little fatter;
Look a(D)way! Look away! Look a(A)way! Dixie (D)Land.
Den (D)hoe it down and scratch your grabble,
To (G)Dixie's land I'm bound to trabble,
Look a(D)way! Look away! Look a(A)way! Dixie (D)Land.
Chorus
