Union Dixie

Away down south in the land of traitors, rattlesnakes, and alligators
Right away, come away, right away, come away
Where cotton's king and men are chattels, union boys will win the battles
Right away, come away, right away, come away

  We'll all go down to Dixie, away, away
  Each dixie boy must understand
  That he must mind his Uncle Sam
  Away, away, we'll all go down to dixie
  Away, away, we'll all go down to dixie

I wish I was in Baltimore, I'd make secessions traitors roar
Right away, come away, right away, come away
We'll put the traitors all to rout, I'll bet my boots we'll whip 'em out
Right away, come away, right away, come away

Oh may our stars and stripes still wave forever o'er the free and brave
Right away, come away, right away, come away
And let our motto ever be, for union and for liberty
Right away, come away, right away, come away
