Don't Forget Old Dixie Land
Composer(s): E.S. Huntington - Leslie Taylor



Going away, boy, going today, boy
You must go up North you say
You know 'twill grieve us, boy, when you leave us
Things are too dull, you can't stay
Look in my eyes, boy
You think it wise, boy
To leave your Southern home
We say to you, boy, be brave and true, boy
No matter where you may roam

Mother, a letter, saying he's better
He's coming back home today
He could not stay there, so far away there
He's coming back now to stay
There is the train now
He's here again now
See him he waves his hand
We've got him back, dear 
He's still our Jack, dear
Welcome to old Dixie land

Don't forget old Dixie land, let you heart be true
Southern son of Southern birth, she'll always welcome you
Though near or far, where'er you are, for Dixie take your stand
Forget all else, my boy, but don't forget old Dixie land!
