The song was first published in 1859.{{Citation needed|date=December 2009}} The lyrics tell of a slave who has escaped to the Northern United States. He laments his lost plantation house and realizes that he really belongs in the South: To Canada old John was bound All by de railroad underground; He's got no clothes—he's got no "tin" He wishes he was back {{sic|agin}}.[1] The song is notable for being the first printed reference to the South as "Dixie's Land": Gib me de place called "Dixie's Land," Wid hoe and shubble in my hand; Whar fiddles ring an' banjos play, I'll dance all night an' work all day.[1] A portion of the chorus was repeated in "Dixie" with slight variation.[2] Notes1. ^1 Quoted in Nathan 244. 2. ^Nathan 254.
