Old Missus acted the foolish part
And died for a man that broke her heart Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.

Chorus

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 Come and hear till: Look away! Look Dixie Land

drive 'way sorrow s song tomorrow
away! Look away!

Chorus

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! Dixie Land

Chorus

Daniel Emmett
