I wish I was in the land of cotton. Old times there are not forgotten. Look away, look away, look away to Dixie Land. In Dixie Land where i was born. Early on one frosty morn.
New york city is a thousand miles away. And if you ask me, I'll tell you that's ok. Now I'm not trying to put the big apple down. 'Cause they don't need a man like me in town.
