I posted this in the Xtra Styles Contest but wanted to share it here as well. I've always loved this classic American song. I especially love the version that Lee Greenwood did in 1992. When I heard the demo for this new RealTrack style I knew I wanted to do something classically American with it. My first thought was "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" but then I realized that it wasn't in the public domain. So I figured I would see if I could do Dixie justice. Let me know what you think.

Lyrics:
O, 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 where I was born in
Early on one frosty mornin'
Look away, Look away,
Look away, Dixie Land

Chorus:
O, I wish I was in Dixie
Away, Away,
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.
