An American Trilogy Lyrics - 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
