“While the Band is Playing Dixie”

0:03

It was on a day when soldiers wrote lines to those they love
To mothers, wives and sweethearts far away

When a fair-haired boy sat dreaming of a far-off southern town
And a dark-haired maiden waiting day by day

While the band is playing Dixie, I'm humming "Home Sweet Home"
It takes me back to Georgia though I'm far across the foam

Once again beside the river with my Mary dear I'll roam
While the band is playing Dixie, I'm humming "Home Sweet Home"

Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home

<<<INSTRUMENTAL>>>

They found it in his pocket, a bloodstained little note
A rifle ball had pierced it through and through

It began with "Darling Mary, if I don't come home again
Remember that my last thoughts were of you"

While the band is playing Dixie, I'm humming "Home Sweet Home"
It takes me back to Georgia though I'm far across the foam

Once again beside the river with my Mary dear I'll roam
While the band is playing Dixie, I'm humming "Home Sweet Home"

Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.

The people who have commented ugly things about these two ladies couldn't even compare to the dirt under their feet.
These two ladies were the definition of class and talent. Very unlike some of the fools who felt they needed to say something disrespectful.
I have to laugh at people who try to criticize these ladies and act like they know so much. There's a huge difference between being known all over the world and some nobody commenting on a video acting like they know so much when in fact, they know absolutely nothing.
Not to mention the gap in the ratio of people who say something nice and complimentary, honoring this wonderul family and the naysayers. I need say no more.

Pure country harmonies from two sorely missed pioneers of Country Music, sisters Sara and Maybelle Carter. Kudos!

@Alanoffer

That is the most authentic country music you will ever hear , Shame there isn’t more of this

...'the most authentic country music you will ever hear'... is it? God has spoken!

My own Daddy learned his pluck-strumming from Maybelle - listening to their huge radio they had back then. It was AP who had the obsession and drive. He had the vision. He was always a bit of an outcast, a loner, a bit odd. He had that tremor or palsy. He had a Negro friend. Esley Riddle. Esley had only one leg, but he had an incredible memory for tunes and lyrics. He could hear a song one time and remember it exactly. They went all over those mountains, the hills and hollers of NC and VA, Tenn, and Ky, collecting songs and ballads. Sadly, AP's home life suffered. He seems not to have ben a very good husband or provider -- then that hit stardom and affluence. But AP's personality was still eccentric. His head was in the clouds, so to speak. Sara needed a husband, just an ordinary husband. They both tried, but finally gave up.
