Union Dixie Song by Tennessee Ernie Ford

 Away down South in the land of traitors

Rattlesnakes and alligatorsRight away (right away)Come away (come away)Right away (right away)Come away (come away)
Where cotton's king and men are chattelsUnion boys will win the battlesRight away (right away)Come away (come away)Right away (right away)Come away (come away)
We'll all go down to Dixie, away, awayEach Dixie boy must understand that he must mind his Uncle SamAway (away)Away (away)We'll all go down to DixieAway (away)Away (away)We'll all go down to Dixie
I wish I was in BaltimoreI'd make secession traitors roarRight away (right away)Come away (come away)Right away (right away)Come away (come away)
We'll put the traitors all to routeI'll bet my boots we'll whip 'em outRight away (right away)Come away (come away)Right away (right away)Come away (come away)
We'll all go down to Dixie, away, awayEach Dixie boy must understand that he must mind his Uncle SamAway (away)Away (away)We'll all go down to Dixie!Away (away)Away (away)We'll all go down to Dixie
Oh, may our Stars and Stripes still waveForever o'er the fee and braveRight away (right away)Come away (come away)Right away (right away)Come away (come away)
And let our motto ever beForever Union and for libertyRight away (right away)Come away (come away)Ride away (ride away)Come away (come away)
We'll all go down to Dixie, away, awayEach Dixie boy must understand that he must mind his Uncle SamAway (away)Away (away)We'll all go down to DixieAway (away)Away (away)We'll all go down to Dixie
