The Song of Dixie
Oh I wish I was in de land ob de cotton,
Ol’ times dere are not forgotten,
Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie land.
In Dixie’s land where I was born,
Early on one frosty morn,
Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie land.
And I wish I was in Dixie, Away! Away!
In Dixie’s land I’ll take my stand,
To live and die in Dixie.
Look away! Look away! Look away down south in Dixie.
Well buckwheat cakes and a stony batter,
Makes you fat or a little fatter,
Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie land.
Here’s a health to the next ol’ missus,
And all the gals that wants to kiss us,
Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie land.
And I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie’s land I’ll take my stand,
To live and die in Dixie. Look away!
Look away! Look away down south in Dixie.
Now if you want to drive away sorrow,
Come and hear this song tomorrow,
Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie land.
Then a’hoe it down and scratch your gravel,
To Dixie’s land I’m bound to travel,
Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie land.
And I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie’s land I’ll take my stand,
To live and die in Dixie. Look away! Look away!
Look away down south in Dixie.
Southrons hear your country call you!, up lest worst than death befall you!;
To arms! To arms! To arms, in Dixie!
Lo! all the beacon fire's lighted! Let all hearts be now united;
To arms! To arms! To arms, in Dixie!
CHORUS
Advance the flag of Dixie, Hurrah! Hurrah!
For Dixie's Land we take our stand, to live or die for Dixie;
To arms! To arms! And conquer peace for Dixie!
To arms! To arms! And conquer peace for Dixie!
Oh, hear the Northern thunders mutter, Northern flags in South winds flutter;
To arms! To arms! To arms, in Dixie!
Send them back your fierce defiance, Stamp upon the cursed alliance;
To arms! To arms! To arms, in Dixie!
Repeat Chorus
Fear no danger, shun no neighbor; lift up rifle, pike and saber;
To arms! To arms! To arms, in Dixie!
Shoulder pressing close to shoulder, Let the odds make each heart bolder;
To arms! To arms! To arms, in Dixie!
Repeat Chorus
And I wish I was in Dixie, Hurrah! Hurrah!
For Dixie's Land we take our stand to live or die for Dixie;
Away, Away, Away down South in Dixie!
Away, Away, Away down South in Dixie!
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 mornin'
Look Away! Look Away! Look Away! Dixie Land
CHORUS
Then 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
During battle the flag was flown with the
center star pointing up, when the
battle required a retreat the flag was turned upside down as the southern
soldiers pulled back.
Make sure when you fly the flag or have it on your bumper that the stars are pointing up.
