Subject: Lyr Add: DIXIE'S LAND No 6
A damnyankee version of Dixie's Land:

DIXIE'S LAND No 6

I wish I was in Baltimore,
I'd make secession-traitors roar,
Away- away- away.

Chorus- I'd send them all to Dixie,
Away- away;
Away down south in Dixie's land,
Away down south in Dixiee.

They want to have a revolution,
But we'll fight for the Constitution;
Away- away, etc.
Jeff Davis has made a big fuss,
He says he's spoiling for a muss,
Away- away, etc
I guess he'd better mind his eye,
Or else we'll hang him up to dry.
Away- away, etc.

Chorus: He'll wish he was in Dixie, etc.

When we go down to Baltimore,
They'll simmer down and say no more;
Away, Away, etc.
We'll take our Bowie knife and gun,
And shoot each traitorous mother's son,
Away- Away, etc.

Chorus: We'll send them all to Dixie, etc.

We'll put the traitors all to rout,
I'll bet my boots we'll whip 'em out;
Away- Away, etc.

Chorus: They'll wish they were in Dixie, etc.
