Verse 1:
Oh, I [D] wish I was in the [D7] land of cotton,
[G] old times there are not forgotten,
Look a[D]way, look a[D7-alt]way, look a[A7]way Dixie [D] Land.
In Dixie’s Land, where [D7] I was born in, [G] early on one frosty mornin', 
Look a[D]way, look away, look a[A7]way Dixie [D] Land.

|Chorus:
|I wish I [D7^2] was in [G] Dixie, Hoo[Em]ray! Hoo[E7]ray!
|In [D] Dixie Land I'll [G] take my stand to [D] live and die in [A7] Dixie. 
|A[D]way, a[A7]way, a[D]way down south in Dixie.
|Away, a[A7]way, a[D]way down south in [A7] Dix[D]ie

Verse 2:
Ole [D] Missus marry "[D7] Will the weaver",
[G] Willum was a gay deceiver
Look a[D]way, Look a[D7^2]way, Look a[A7]way, Dixie [D] Land
But when he put his [D7] arm around 'er, he [G] smiled fierce as a forty pounder, 
Look a[D]way! Look away! Look a[A7]way! Dixie [D] Land

Chorus:

Verse 3:
His [D] face was sharp as a [D7] butcher's cleaver,
[G] but that did not seem to grieve 'er
Look a[D]way, Look a[D7^2]way, Look a[A7]way, Dixie [D] Land
Ole Missus acted the [D7] foolish part, [G] and died for a man that broke her heart 
Look a[D]way! Look away! Look a[A7]way! Dixie [D] Land

Now [D] here's to the health to the [D7] next ole Missus,
[G] an' all the gals that want to kiss us;
Look a[D]way! Look a[D7^2]way! Look a[A7]way! Dixie [D] Land
But if you want to [D7] drive 'way sorrow, [G] come and hear this song tomorrow 
Look a[D]way! Look away! Look a[A7]way! Dixie [D] Land

Chorus:

Verse 5:
There's [D] buckwheat cakes and [D7] Injun batter,
[G] makes you fat or a little fatter
Look a[D]way, Look a[D7^2]way, Look a[A7]way, Dixie [D] Land
Then hoe it down and [D7] scratch your gravel, [G] to Dixie's Land I'm bound to travel, 
Look a[D]way! Look away! Look a[A7] way! Dixie [D] Land
