  DIXIE -- by Daniel D. Emmett

  

  I read somewhere that "Dixie" was actually written by a northern-

  er, and a Union sympathizer.  He wrote the song for use by some 

  minstrel shows as I recall.  When he realized the South had taken the 

  it as a rallying song for the Southern cause, and that they 

  idolized him, he was dismayed.  I believe he died pretty much 

  flat broke near 90 years old.

  

  I'm sure this in not the original key, but it works for me.

  

     C                C7              F                            

  I wish I was in the land of cotton, old times there are not forgotten, 

       C                      G7       C 

  look away, look away, look away Dixieland.

       C             C7             F                             

  In Dixieland where I was born in, early on one frosty morning, 

       C                      G7       C

  look away, look away, look away Dixieland.

  

  Chorus:

         C             F         D7      G7      

  Then I wish I was in Dixie, hooray, hooray, 

     C              F                C                  G7 

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

   C     G7    C                 G7 C           G7    C                 G7 C

  Away, away, away down south in Dixie.  Away, away, away down south in Dixie

  

  

  

  There's buckwheat cakes and Injun batter, makes you fat or a little fatter.   

  Look away, look away, look away Dixieland.

  Then hoe it down and scratch your grabble, to Dixieland I'm bound to travel.

  Look away, look away, look away Dixieland.

  

  Chorus
