away down south in the land of traitors ,

rattlesnakes and alligators ,

right away , come away , right away , come away.

where cotton's king and men are chattels ,

union boys will win the battles ,

right away , come away , right away , come away.

then we'll all go down to dixie ,

away , away ,

each dixie boy must understand

that he must mind his uncle sam ,

away , away ,

and we'll all go down to dixie.

away , away ,

and 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.

we'll put the traitors all to rout.

i'll bet my boots we'll whip them out ,

right away , come away , right away , come away.

then we'll all go down to dixie ,

away , away.

each dixie boy must understand

that he must mind his uncle sam ,

away , away ,

and we'll all go down to dixie.

away , away ,

and we'll all go down to dixie.

......

oh , may our stars and stripes still wave forever o'er the free and brave ,

right away , come away , right away , come away.

and let our motto ever be - - for union and for liberty !

right away , come away , right away , come away.

then we'll all go down to dixie ,

away , away ,

each dixie boy must understand

that he must mind his uncle sam ,

away , away ,

and we'll all go down to dixie.

away , away ,

and we'll all go down to dixie.
