Confederate Song - I Wish I Was In Dixie Land (with lyrics)

Lyrics:
O, I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.

In Dixie Land where I was born in
Early on one frosty mornin'
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.

Chorus:
O, I wish I was in Dixie!
Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away, away,
Away down south in Dixie!

Old Missus marry Will, the weaver,
William was a gay deceiver
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.

But when he put his arm around her
He smiled as fierce as a forty pounder
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.

Chorus:
O, I wish I was in Dixie!
Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away, away,
Away down south in Dixie!

His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver
But that did not seem to grieve her
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
Old Missus acted the foolish part
And died for a man that broke her heart
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.

Chorus:
O, I wish I was in Dixie!
Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away, away,
Away down south in Dixie!

Fun facts about this song:
1: It was Abraham Lincoln's favorite song, ironically
2: When the very first American doughboys arrived in France in 1917 they were greeted by an English band, who played this song because it was the only American song they knew.

Played this song whilst playing battlefront 2 as the confederacy. Will improve your performance as a Droideka.

Fun fact!: Lincoln actually loved this song he thought it was catchy even though he had to keep the Union together he played this at Gettysburg to even honor the confederate dead

When the feds want to take down your fence.

This song is so awesome that my black friend just threw a rock through my window to hear it better!

[braeman]

When you accidentally send “I’m going to Dixie Land.” Instead of “I’m going to Disney Land.”

Anyone else just listening to old Union and Confederate songs out of boredom?

You don't even have to be a Yank or a Rebel to like this song.
Even Abraham Lincoln liked it. And he's the president of the United States that fought the Confederacy that composed this song.
It's just music that brings you a sense of nostalgia that you never even lived in the first place.

Lincoln loved this song. Regardless of how you feel about the CSA, the Union, and the Civil War, there’s no denying it’s a good tune.

[prizm]

"Yea, that song is lit"
-Abraham Lincoln

[razvandobos]

I can just imagine a battle droid hearing this and saying, “Wow, this confederacy has such a catchy song”!
