Dixie Land
I wish I was in the land of cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten;
Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie's Land!
In Dixie's Land where I was born in,
Early on one frosty morning,
Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie's Land!
CHORUS:
Then I wish I was in Dixie! Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie's Land I'll take my stand, to live and die in Dixie!
Away! Away! Away down South in Dixie!
Away! Away! Away down South in Dixie!
Old Missus married "Will the Weaver";
William was a gay deceiver!
Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie's Land!
But when he put his arm around her,
Smiled as fierce as a forty-pounder!
Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie's Land!--
His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver;
But that did not seem to grieve her!
Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie's Land!
Old Missus acted the foolish part
And died for a man that broke her heart!
Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie's Land!--
Now here's a health to the next old missus
And all the gals that want to kiss us!
Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie's Land!
But if you want to drive away sorrow,
Come and hear this song tomorrow!
Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie's Land!--
There's buckwheat cakes and Injin batter,
Makes you fat or a little fatter!
Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie's Land!
Then hoe it down and scratch your gravel,
To Dixie's Land I'm bound to travel!
Look away! Look away! Look away, Dixie's Land!
Dixie is a highley addictive tune. Once you hear it, it is hard to get out of your head.

Nice man, really thankful these songs live on
Great to see these old historic songs from the civil war brought to life in the present day! If I ever make it to the usa from northern ireland, I am definitely planning to visit all the sites.
Really really good!
Great voice especially on a great subject. The American Civil War was a making of a great Nation.
He is talented and growing on me!
Thank you for posting.
Hi Charlie, my favorite rendition of "Dixie". This man is a very talented singer. Thanks, Thelma Prince
i think of my great great great grand farther Corporal George Washington Clary of the 73rd Virginia. i know i don't know him personally but my family always talks about him. he was also a survivor of a yankee prison camp in Point Lookout Maryland. hell i even have his musket he used.
I love Dixie's version ! Amazing job !
i see charlie zahm every year in scotland conneticut great guy
ever been on a cruise with him?
great
NIce
I always respected the rebel soldiers and Generals,I cant say I think they were in the right but I do have respect for them because they gave everything for what they believed to be right
Charlie recorded Dixie on his Americana album. He is making a live DVD / CD on February 13th but that won't be available for months and Rebel Soldier may not be included; it's not one of his more popular songs up North! Dixie always gets a great reception at Zahm shows. His wonderful version is on the 2002 "Americana" album; it's paired with a different song called "Sweet Sunny South" there.
that was amazing
Normally I'm not a fan of the original lyrics, but that was damn beautiful... Rivals the "Everybody's Dixie" lyrics...
By the way, I re-enact both sides. Any Washington State reenactors, give me a shout.
little fun fact you know Presidents favorite song was Dixie,One point later in the war he was on a steamer in the Potomac river with a guest from Germany and Lincoln asked him if he had ever heard Dixie the man shook his head so Lincoln replied "the tunes federal property now so I see no reason why the people cant enjoy it again",and then ordered the band to play the song
By the way, the concert a success.
Japanese liked the song. In fact, they didn't care a bit about the fact that the song used to be one of the unofficial anthems of the Confederate States of America.
Only an American teacher had some issues at the beginning, but ended up liking the rendition after all.
Again, thanks a lot. ^^
They don't want a video that doesn't start with an ad to end up 'liked' to the front page :p
good song
Wow you are good! Thanks for the knowledge as well
Dixie is a highly infectious tune, about as much as "Stars and Stripes Fovever".
A guy in New Jersey singing Confederate songs! With a great voice! I really enjoyed but I am not interested in hearing Yankee Doodle. I can get ya a gray or butternut uniform.
There's only certain gigs where Charlie wants the video camera and so far he hasn't done Highlands at any of them! I'll keep it in mind and request it soon ; -)
nice sing man! i like it
I would suggest downloading the video from here using one of the easy (and free for first 20 days) programs like UA-cam Download Studio
I liked his style, specially singing southern tunes with a Union uniform ;). Reminded me of Sgt. Chesterfield, of the French comic 'Les Tuniques bleues'
Blue Grass is basicaly Celtic Music. if u play Blue Grass in Irland they will sometimes mistake it for their own. also Country was influnced by Celtic music and other influences.
woohoo
This reply may be irrelevant now bond because of the amount of time, but name of the tune is " Dixie ".
One can hear the Irish influence. The singer has a superb voice what is his name?
Were I was born one frosted morning, Dixie, Lookout Mountain Tennessee.
How could this song ever be politically incorrect? If it is I don't want to live in the Union.
CZ has his costumes made for him by a reinacting specalist... it's design is based on the uniform of a Zahm relative ...
This is called the "folk process" used a lot by writers like Woody Guthrie who take traditional tunes (or bits and pieces of them) and add their own words...
Well, he's from Florida but living in Pennsylvania. Florida is definitely Southern ; -)
The costume is awsome! Where did you get it?
Actually I was thinking about singing this song in Japan, at Ehime University, next week. Some people told me to think about it, that many American teachers working from northern states working here may not like the idea... but you just gave me the resolve I needed.
Thank you so very much! ^^
then u r going to want to visit Virginia for all the civil war battle site.
is this at a school?
all i can say is he talks alot before playing such great music
