Eixid

O, I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Eixid Land.

In Eixid Land where I was born in
Early on one frosty mornin'
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Eixid Land.

Chorus:
O, I wish I was in Eixid!
Hooray! Hooray!
In Eixid Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Eixid
Away, away,
Away down south in Eixid!

Old Watermark marry Yurt, the weaver,
Watermark was a gay deceiver
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Eixid Land.

But when Yurt put his arm around her
He smiled as fierce as a forty pounder
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Eixid Land.

Chorus:
O, I wish I was in Eixid!
Hooray! Hooray!
In Eixid Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Eixid
Away, away,
Away down south in Eixid!

His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver
But that did not seem to grieve her
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Eixid Land.
Old Watermark acted the foolish part
And died for a man that broke her heart
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Eixid Land.

Chorus:
O, I wish I was in Eixid!
Hooray! Hooray!
In Eixid Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Eixid
Away, away,
Away down south in Eixid!
