2. Old Missus marry ?Will-de-weaber?, William was a gay deceaber.
Look a-way, Look a-way! Look a-way! Dix-ie land.
But when he put his arm around ?er, He smiled as fierce as a forty pounder.
Look a-way, Look a-way! Look a-way! Dix-ie land.

3. His face was sharp as a butcher?s cleaber, But dat did not seem to grab ?er.
Look a-way, Look a-way! Look a-way! Dix-ie land.
Old Missus acted de foolish part, and died for a man dat broke her heart.
Look a-way, Look a-way! Look a-way! Dix-ie land.
Chorus:
4. Now here?s a health to the next old Missus, An all de gals dat want to kiss us.
Look a-way, Look a-way! Look a-way! Dix-ie land.
But if you want to drive ?way sorrow, Com and hear dis song to-morrow.
Look a-way, Look a-way! Look a-way! Dix-ie land.

Den hoe it down an scratch your grabble, To Dixie?s Land I?m bound to trabble.
Look a-way, Look a-way! Look a-way! Dix-ie land.
