Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton 
Old times there are not forgotten 
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland 

(background singers)
Oh I wish I was in Dixie, away, away

Look away, look away, look away Dixieland 

Glory, glory hallelujah 
Glory, glory hallelujah 
Glory, glory hallelujah 
His truth is marching on 

So hush little baby 
Don't you cry 
You know your daddy's bound to die 
But all my trials Lord, will soon be over 

Glory, glory, hallelujah
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on
