« Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten.
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land!

In Dixie Land, where I was born in,
early on one frosty mornin’.
Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land!

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!… »

Daniel Decatur « Dan » Emmett – I Wish I Was In Dixie Land – 1859

Petit clin d’oeil à notre chère Dixie en espérant qu’elle revienne en réacosphérie !…
