  55. His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver
  56. But that did not seem to grieve her
  57. Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land
  58.  
  59. Old Missus acted the foolish part
  60. And died for a man that broke her heart
  61. Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land

  67. Away, away, away down south in Dixie
  68. Away, away, away down south in Dixie
  69.  
  70. Now here's a health to the next old Missus
  71. An all the girls that want to kiss us
  72. Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land
  73.  
  74. But if you want to drive 'way sorrow
  75. Come and hear this song tomorrow
  76. Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land
  77.  
  78. I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray!

  94. “Dixie” was written on a cold rainy March morning in New York in 1859. It was written for a blackface minstrel show, and it quickly became popular in the north. It didn’t take hold in the south until 1861 as the Confederate States searched for their own anthem.
  95.  
  96. The lyrics were written in the minstrel style, with a thick, comedic Negro dialect. These original lyrics are included in the annotations of the song.
  97.  
  98. The song was performed at the inauguration of Jefferson Davis as the Confederate States' president, and became the unofficial anthem of the Confederacy. It’s interesting that the song was also a favorite of Abraham Lincoln.
  99.  
  100. Today the song is often protested as the “Confederate Flag” of music. But the song is what you make of it – you get out of the song what you bring into it.
