Part 96

What is there in the moon, that swims A naked bosom o'er the limbs, That all the wood with magic dims? While still, while still, Among the trees whose shadows grope 'Mid ferns and flow'rs the dew-drops ope,-- Lost in faint deeps of heliotrope Above the clover-scented slope,-- Retreats, despairing past all hope, The whippoorwill, the whippoorwill.

DIXIE.

I wish I wuz in de land ob cotton, Ole times dar am not forgotten; Look away! look away! look away! Dixie land. In Dixie land whar I wuz born in, Early on one frosty mornin'; Look away! look away! look away! Dixie land.

CHORUS.

Den I wish I were in Dixie, hooray! hooray! In Dixie land I'll took my stand To lib and die in Dixie, Away, away, away down south in Dixie, Away, away, away down south in Dixie.

II.

Dar's buckwheat cakes and Ingen batter, Makes you fat or a little fatter; Den hoe it down and scratch your grabble, To Dixie land I'm bound to trabble.
