Union Dixie Lyrics

von Tennessee Ernie Ford

Away down South in the land of traitors,
Rattlesnakes and alligators,
Right away! Come away! Right away! Right away, come away!
Where cotton's king and men are chattles,
Union boys will win the battles, right 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! We'll all go down to Dixie! Away! Away! We'll all go down to Dixie!
(back to singing)
I wish I was in Baltimore, I'd make secession traitors roar right away! Come away! Right away! Come 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! Come 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! We'll all go down to Dixie! Away! Away! We'll all go down to Dixie! Away, away, we'll all go down to Dixie!
(continue singing)
O may our Stars and Stripes still wave forever roar the free and brave! Right away! Come away! Right away, come away!
And let our motto forever be for Union and for Liberty, right away! Come 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,! We'll all go down to Dixie! Away, away, we'll all go down...
