The confederate soldiers have fre
quently told us that the words o f Dixie
as published are not the words used by
them during the war. We wonder If

sang?
DIXIE’S LAND.
(As sung by the Confederate soldier.)
Away down South iu de fields of cotton,
Cinnamon seed and sandy bottom,
Look away, look away,
Look away, look away.
Den'way down Mouth in de fields cotton,
Vlncgnr shoes and paper stockings;
Look away, look «Way,
Look sway, look atfny.
Den I wish I was In Dixie's Land,
Oh—oh ! Oh-oh I
In Dixie’s land l'll take my stand,
And live and die In Dixie’s Land,
Away away, away,
Away down South Iu Dixie.
Pork anrl cabbage iu da pot,
It goes in cold and cornea out hot;
Look away, look away,
Look away, look away,
Vinegar put right on red beet,
It makes them alwayk fit to eat ;
Look away, look away.
Den I wish iu Dixie’s Land,
Oh—oh! Oh—oh I
Tn Dlxie’siand I’ll time my stand,
And live and die in Dixie’s Land,
Away, away, away,
Away down South in Dixie.
