It is one of the most distinctively American musical products of the 19th century, and probably the best-known song to have come out of blackface minstrelsy. Although not a folk song at its creation, "Dixie" has since entered the American folk vernacular. The song likely cemented the word "Dixie" in the American vocabulary as a synonym for the Southern United States. Most sources credit Ohio-born Daniel Decatur Emmett with the song's composition; however many other people have claimed to have composed "Dixie", even during Emmett's lifetime. Compounding the problem of definitively establishing the song's authorship are Emmett's own confused accounts of its writing, and his tardiness in registering the song's copyright. The latest challenge has come on behalf of the Snowden Family of Knox County, Ohio, who may have collaborated with Emmett to write "Dixie". -- wikipedia.org --- "(I Wish I Was In) Dixie's Land" (1859) Lyrics by: Daniel Decatur Emmett I wish I was in the land of cotton, Old times dar am not forgotten, Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. In Dixie Land whar' I was born in, Early on one frosty mornin', Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. CHORUS: Den I wish I was in Dixie, Hoo-ray! Hoo-ray! In Dixie land, I'll take my stand to live and die in Dixie; Away, away, away down south in Dixie, Away, away, away down south in Dixie. Old Missus marry Will-de-weaber, Willium was a gay deceaber; Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. But when he put his arm around 'er Smiled as fierce as a forty-pounder, Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. CHORUS: Den I wish I was in Dixie, Hoo-ray! Hoo-ray! In Dixie land, I'll take my stand to live and die in Dixie; Away, away, away down south in Dixie, Away, away, away down south in Dixie. His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver, But dat did not seem to greab 'er; Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. Old Missus acted the foolish part, And died for a man dat broke her heart, Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. CHORUS: Den I wish I was in Dixie, Hoo-ray! Hoo-ray! In Dixie land, I'll take my stand to live and die in Dixie; Away, away, away down south in Dixie, Away, away, away down south in Dixie. Now here's a health to the next old Missus, And all the gals dat want to kiss us; Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. But if you want to drive 'way sorrow, Come and hear dis song to-morrow, Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. CHORUS: Den I wish I was in Dixie, Hoo-ray! Hoo-ray! In Dixie land, I'll take my stand to live and die in Dixie; Away, away, away down south in Dixie, Away, away, away down south in Dixie. Dar's buckwheat cakes an' Injun batter, Makes you fat or a little fatter; Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. Den hoe it down and scratch your grabble, To Dixie's land I'm bound to trabble, Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. CHORUS: Den I wish I was in Dixie, Hoo-ray! Hoo-ray! In Dixie land, I'll take my stand to live and die in Dixie; Away, away, away down south in Dixie, Away, away, away down south in Dixie.
