First Annual Farewell Reunion - Dixieland for Me Lyrics

I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away Dixie land
I wish I was in Dixie, away

In Dixie land, I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away, away, away, away, away
Down south in Dixie

I'm dreaming tonight of Dixie
That's where I love to roam
The roosters crow at the break of day
In my Dixie home sweet home

Oh people here, they just don't care
I never saw the beat
That road ahead is mighty long
But it's Dixieland for me

I was going back to my old home
In the mountains far away
The wild red roses smell so sweet
And the rippling waters play

Oh people here, they just don't care
I never saw the beat
That road ahead is mighty long
But it's Dixieland for me

Yes, city life is not for me
I'm going where the neighbors speak
That road ahead is mighty long
But it's Dixieland for me

Oh people here they just don't care
I never saw the beat
That road ahead is mighty long
But it's Dixieland for me

Away, away, away, away
Down south in Dixie
