Elvis Presley - AN AMERICAN TRILOGY . This is the vinyl version of the song which was a track on the Album ELVIS HITS OF THE 70'S released in 1974 . AN AMERICAN TRILOGY is a song arranged by country songwriter Mickey Newbury and made popular by Elvis , who began including the song as part of his regular concert routine in the 1970s. It is a medley of three 19th century songs—"Dixie", a blackface minstrel song that became the unofficial anthem of the Confederacy since the Civil War; "All My Trials", originally a Bahamian lullaby, but closely related to African American spirituals, and well-known through folk music revivalists; and "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", the marching song of the Union Army during the Civil War.

LYRICS :

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
For Dixieland, that's where I was born,
Early lord one frosty morn,
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

Glory, Glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on
His truth is marching on
