Lyrics

Oh, I wish I was in a land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland

"Sing it fellas"
(Oh, I wish I was in Dixie, away, away)
(In Dixieland I'll take my stand to live and die in Dixie)

For Dixieland, is where I was born
Early, Lord, one frosty morn
Look away, look away, look away Dixieland

Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on

So hush little baby don't you cry
You know your daddy's bound to die
But all my trials, Lord, will soon be over

Glory, glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on

"Thank you"
"Thank you very much"
"Thank you, you're a good audience, thank you very much"
"I'd like to turn the house light up, ladies and gentlemen, so I can a look at you"
"Now you've had a look at, er, us"
"Hello out there, thank you"
"Thank you for coming out to see our show"
"We're not through yet, so just, ya know, we've got about 25 or 30 more songs to do"
