An American Trilogy Lyrics By Mickey Newbury

    oh i wish i was in the land of cotton
    old things they are not forgotten
    look away look away look away dixieland
    oh i wish i was in dixie away away

    in dixieland i take my stand to live and die in dixie
    ’cause dixieland that’s where i was born
    early lord one frosty morning
    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
