"Variation On Dixie" lyrics - MOSE ALLISON

Way down south in the land of cotton
There's a place I've not forgotten
Lookaway, lookaway, lookaway
Dixieland

Dixie the land that I was born in
Early on one frosty mornin'
Lookaway, lookaway, lookaway
Dixieland

Well I learned of life in Dixie
Away, away
In Dixieland I played my hand
Came to understand in Dixie
Away, away, away
Down south in Dixie

Well I left my home in Dixie
Away, away
In distant climes I make these rhymes
But I dream sometimes of Dixie
Away, away, away
Down south in Dixie
