Dixie Chords
Daniel Decatur Emmett*
Oh, I Gwish I was in the land of cotton,
COld times there are not forgotten,
Look aGway, look aEmway, look aDway Dixie GLand.
In GDixie Land, where I was born in,
Cearly on one frosty mornin',
Look aGway, look aEmway, look aDway Dixie GLand.
I Gwish I was in CDixie, HooA7ray! HooDray!
In GDixie Land I'll Ctake my stand
to Glive and die in DDixie.
AGway, aDway, aGway down south in DDixGie.
AGway, aDway, aGway down south in DDixGie
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
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
Now here's a 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
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!
