| Lyrics: | Way Down in Dixie
'Way down in Dixie!
'Way down in Dixie where the cotton
grows,
Sing a song, blow along, O-O-O!
'Way down in Dixie!
'Way down in
Dixie, oh, I had a gal,
Sing a song, blow along, O-O-O!
Her name it was
Fore-tops'l Nell,
She was so dark she broke me heart,
She had black eyes an' a
lovely nose,
Oh, around the world l had to sail.
But l'm as tough as a
six-inch nail.
When l got back, she'd done me down.
She'd ran off wid a circus
clown.
If I could cotch that thievin' [sneakin'] tyke.
I'd give him one wid a
marline-spike.
But I left her there an' sailed away.
From Shanties from the
Seven Seas, Hugill
