Lyrics:
Away down South in the land of traitors,
Rattlesnakes and alligators,
Right away! Come away! Right away! Right away, come away!
Where cotton's king and
men are chattles,
Union
boys will win the battles, right away!
Come away! Right away! Right away, come away!
We'll all go down to Dixie, away! Away!
Each Dixie
boy must understand that he must mind his Uncle Sam
Away! Away! We'll all go down to Dixie!
Away! Away! We'll all go down to Dixie!
I wish I was in Baltimore,
I'd make secession traitors roar right away!
Come away! Right away! Come away! Right away, come away!
We'll put the traitors all to route,
I'll bet my boots we'll whip 'em out,
Right away! Come away! Right away, come away!
We'll all go down to Dixie, away! Away!
Each Dixie
boy must understand that he must mind his Uncle Sam
Away! Away! We'll all go down to Dixie!
Away! Away!We'll all go down to Dixie!
O may our Stars and Stripes still wave
forever roar the
Free and brave! Right away! Come away! Right away, come away!
And let our motto
forever be for Union and for
Liberty, right away! Come away! Right away, come away!
We'll all go down to Dixie, away! Away!
Each Dixie
boy must understand that he must mind his Uncle Sam
Away, away, !
We'll all go down to Dixie! Away, away, we'll all go down… to Dixie!
