Lyrics

Away down South in the land of traitors
Rattlesnakes and alligators
Right away (right away), come away (come away)
Right away (right away), come away
Where cotton's king and men are chattels
Union boys will win the battles
Right away (right away), come 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), away (away)
We'll all go down to Dixie
Away (away), away (away)
We'll all go down to Dixie
I wish I was in Baltimore
I'd make secession traitors roar
Right away (right away), come away (come away)
Right 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 (right away), come 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), away (away)
We'll all go down to Dixie!
Away (away), away (away)
We'll all go down to Dixie
Oh, may our Stars and Stripes still wave
Forever o'er the fee and brave
Right away (right away), come away (come away)
Right away (right away), come away
And let our motto ever be
Forever Union and for liberty
Right away (right away), come away (come away)
Ride away (ride 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), away (away)
We'll all go down to Dixie
Away (away), away (away)
We'll all go down to Dixie
