HOSTIS HUMANI GENERIS

NORTHERN DIXIE (1860s)

Away down South in the land of traitors
Rattlesnakes and alligators (alt line: "rebel hearts and union haters")
Look away (look away)
Right away (right away)
Come away (come away)
Dixieland

Where cotton's king and men are chattel
Union boys will win the battle
Look away (look away)
Right away (right away)
Come away (come away)
Dixieland

We'll never suffer traitors; no way! No way!
Each Dixie Boy must understand that he must mind his Uncle Sam
Away (away)
Away (away)
Away down south in Dixie
Hurray (hurray)
Hurray (hurray)
We'll burn it down in Dixie

We'll put the traitors all to rout
I'll bet my boots we'll whip 'em out
Look away (look away)
Right away (right away)
Come away (come away)
Dixieland

Oh, may our Stars and Stripes still wave
Forever o'er the free and brave
Look away (look away)
Right away (right away)
Come away (come away)
Dixieland

We'll never suffer traitors; no way! No way!
Each Dixie Boy must understand that he must mind his Uncle Sam
Away (away)
Away (away)
Away down south in Dixie
Hurray (hurray)
Hurray (hurray)
We'll burn it down in Dixie

Away down south in the land of treason
Where coward souls our troops were seizin'
Look away (look away)
Right away (right away)
Come away (come away)
Dixieland

Here in the north--the land of freemen
Stars and stripes are proudly streamin'
Look away (look away)
Right away (right away)
Come away (come away)
Dixieland

We'll never suffer traitors; no way! No way!
Each Dixie Boy must understand that he must mind his Uncle Sam
Away (away)
Away (away)
Away down south in Dixie
Hurray (hurray)
Hurray (hurray)
We'll burn it down in Dixie

Our bodies strong but our hearts are stronger
We'll stand the rebel threats no longer
Look away (look away)
Right away (right away)
Come away (come away)
Dixieland

We'll bash these ranting hot seceders
Beat their troops and hang their leaders
Look away (look away)
Right away (right away)
Come away (come away)
Dixieland

We'll never suffer traitors; no way! No way!
Each Dixie Boy must understand that he must mind his Uncle Sam
Away (away)
Away (away)
Away down south in Dixie
Hurray (hurray)
Hurray (hurray)
We'll burn it down in Dixie

We'll make them give up to our forces
Tho we march o'er brothers' corpses
Look away (look away)
Right away (right away)
Come away (come away)
Dixieland

Then rouse ye up brave northern brothers
Wait not for the bid of others
Look away (look away)
Right away (right away)
Come away (come away)
Dixieland

We'll never suffer traitors; no way! No way!
Each Dixie Boy must understand that he must mind his Uncle Sam
Away (away)
Away (away)
Away down south in Dixie
Hurray (hurray)
Hurray (hurray)
We'll burn it down in Dixie
