An American Trilogy Lyrics
by Elvis Presley(words & music by newbury)
Oh i wish i was in the land of cotton
Old things they are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away dixieland
Oh i wish i was in dixie, away, away
In dixieland i take my stand to live and die in dixie
Cause dixieland, that's where i was born
Early lord one frosty morning
Look away, look away, look away dixieland
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
You know your daddy's bound to die
But all my trials, lord will soon be over
About this song
"An American Trilogy" is a 1971 song medley arranged by country composer Mickey Newbury and popularized by Elvis Presley, who included it as a showstopper in his concert routines.
The medley uses three 19th-century songs: * "Dixie" — a popular folk song about the southern United States.
* "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" — a marching hymn of the Union Army during the American Civil War; and * "All My Trials" — a Bahamian lullaby related to African American spirituals and widely used by folk music revivalists.
