Look away! Look away, Dixie's Land! In Dixie's Land where I was born in, Early on one frosty morning, Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie's Land! <poem style="font-style:italic;"> <poem style="font-style:italic;"> Old Missus married "Will the Weaver"; William was a gay deceiver! Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie's Land! But when he put his arm around her, Smiled as fierce as a forty-pounder! Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie's Land! <poem style="font-style:italic;"> His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver; But that did not seem to grieve her! Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie's Land! Old Missus acted the foolish part And died for a man that broke her heart! Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie's Land! <poem style="font-style:italic;"> Now here's a health to the next old missus And all the gals that want to kiss us! Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie's Land! But if you want to drive away sorrow, Come and hear this song tomorrow! Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie's Land! <poem style="font-style:italic;"> There's buckwheat cakes and Injin batter, Makes you fat or a little fatter! Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie's 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's Land! <poem style="font-style:italic;"> Southrons, hear your country call you! Up, lest worse than death befall you! To arms! To arms! To arms! In Dixie! Lo! all the beacon fires are lighted Let all hearts be now united! To arms! To arms! To arms!

In Dixie! <poem style="font-style:italic;"> How the South's great heart rejoices At your cannon's ringing voices! To arms! To arms! To arms! In Dixie! For faith betrayed and pledges broken, Wrongs inflicted, insults spoken, To arms! To arms! To arms! In Dixie! <poem style="font-style:italic;"> Strong as lions, swift as eagles, Back to their kennels hunt these beagles! To arms! To arms! To arms! In Dixie! Cut the unequal bond asunder! Let them hence each other plunder! To arms! To arms! To arms! In Dixie! <poem style="font-style:italic;"> Swear upon your country's altar Never to submit or falter! To arms! To arms! To arms! In Dixie! Till the spoilers are defeated, Till the Lord's work is completed, To arms! To arms! To arms!

Then at peace, and crowned with glory, Hear your children tell the story! To arms! To arms! To arms!

Exultant pride soon banish sorrow; Smiles chase tears away tomorrow. To arms! To arms! To arms! In Dixie!
