[A#m]
[G#m] [F#]
I [C#] wish I was [B] in the land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
[F#] Look away, look [D#m] away, [C#] look away
[F#] Dixieland, in Dixieland where I was born
[B] Early on one frosty morn
Look [F#]
away, look [C#] away, look [F#] away
Dixieland
Oh I wish I was [B] in Dixie
[G#] Hooray, [C#] hooray
[F#] In Dixieland [B] I'll take my stand
To [F#] live and die [C#] in Dixie
Away, away, [F#] away
Down south in Dixie
[C#]
[F#]
With one kiss she married Will the Weaver
[B] But William [F#] was a [B] sly deceiver
Look away, look [D#m] away, [C#] look away [F#] Dixieland
And when he put his arm around her
He smiled as fierce [B] as a forty pounder
Look [F#] away, [D#m] look away, look [C#] away
[C#m] [F#] Dixieland
Oh I wish I was [B] in Dixie
[D#m] Hooray, hooray
In [F#] Dixieland [B] I'll take my [B] stand
[F#] To live and die [C#] in Dixie
[F#] Away,
[C#] away,
[F#] away
Down south in Dixie
[C#]
[F#]
[F#]
His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver
But [B] that did not seem to grieve her
Look away, look [D#m] away, look [C#] away
[F#] Dixieland
With one kiss she acted a foolish part
And died for a man that broke her heart
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland
Oh I wish I was in [B]
Dixie [C] [G#] Hooray, [C#] hooray
In [F#] Dixieland I'll [B] take my stand
To live and die [C#] in Dixie
[F#] Away,
[C#] away, [F#] away
Down south in Dixie
Away, away,
[G#m] away
[A#m]
Away [F#] [B]
