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
