Description: This is the most rollicking of U.S. National songs, written and composed for a negro minstrel show by Daniel Decatur Emmett. Another version, "The U.S.A. Forever" written by Angus S. Hibbard, is included. The song, as originally, was instantaneously successful and became a Confederate war-song. Since then it has become a favorite throughout the U.S. and as a band composition is played all over the world.

I wish I was in de land ob cotton,
Old times dar am not forgotten,
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
In Dixie Land whar I was born in,
Early on one frosty mornin',
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.
Den I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand,
To lib and die in Dixie,
Away down south in Dixie.
