Written by George R. Poulton ||= Dixie Written by Daniel Decatur Emmett ||= Ezikiel Saw the Wheel African-American Spiritual || On the willow tree, Sat and rocked, I heard him sing, Singing Aura Lea Aura Lea, Aura Lea, Maid of golden hair; Sunshine came along with thee, And swallows in the air. In thy blush the rose was born, Music when you spake, Through thine azure eye the morn, Sparkling seemed to break. Aura Lea, Aura Lea, Bird of crimson wing, Never song have sung to me, In that sweet spring. Aura Lea! The bird may flee, The willows golden hair Swing through winter fitfully, On the stormy air. Yet if thy blue eyes I see, Gloom will soon depart; For to me, sweet Aura Lea Is sunshine through the heart. When the mistletoe was green, Midst the winter's snows, Sunshine in thy face was seen, Kissing lips of rose. Aura Lea, Aura Lea, Take my golden ring; Love and light return with thee, And swallows with the spring. ||< I wish I was in the land of cotton, Old times there are not forgotten, Look away, Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. In Dixie Land where I was born in, Early on one frost-y morn-in, Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land. Then I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray! In Dixie Land I’ll take my stand, To live and die in Dixie, Away Away Away down south in Dixie. Away Away Away down south in Dixie.

||< Ezekiel saw the wheel, way up in the middle of the air, Ezekiel saw the wheel, way in the middle of the air, The big wheel run by faith, Little wheel run by the grace of God Wheel within a wheel, 'way in the middle of the air, Wheel, wheel, wheel, wheel in the middle of the air. Wheel, wheel, wheel, wheel in the middle of the air.
