[Verse]
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 Land where I was born in,
Early on one frosty morn
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land.

[Chorus]
And I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! (Horray!) Hooray! (Horray!)
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,
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.

[Verse]
Old Missus marry, "Will the weaver",
William was a gay deceiver,
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land.

But when he put his arm around her,
He smiled as fierce as a forty pounder,
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land.

[Chorus]
And I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! (Horray!) Hooray! (Horray!)
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,
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.

[Verse]
His face was as 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,
She died for a man that broke her heart,
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land.

[Chorus]
Then I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! (Horray!) Hooray! (Horray!)
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,
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.

[Verse]
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,
Dixie Land I'm bound to travel,
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land.

[Chorus]
And I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! (Horray!) Hooray! (Horray!)
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,
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.

[Verse]
Now here's a health to the next old Missus,
An all the girls that want to kiss us,
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land..

But if you want to drive away sorrow,
Come and hear this song tomorrow,
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land.

[Chorus]
Then I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! (Horray!) Hooray! (Horray!)
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,
Away, away, away down south in Dixie.
