Part A-1

Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton

Old things they are not forgotten

Look away, look away, look away Dixieland

Part B-1

Oh I wish I was in Dixie, away, away

In Dixieland I take my stand to live and die in Dixie

Part A-2

Cause Dixieland, that's where I was born

Early Lord one frosty morning

Look away, look away, look away Dixieland

Part C-1

Glory, glory hallelujah

Glory, glory hallelujah

Glory, glory hallelujah

His truth is marching on

Part D-1

So hush little baby

Don't you cry...

You know your daddy's bound to die

But all my trials, Lord will soon be over

Instrumental

....

Part E

Glory, glory hallelujah

His truth is marching on

His truth is marching on.
