Текст песни: While the Band Is Playin' Dixie + перевод

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

Of a dark-eyed 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

Oh, that night while all were sleeping came a bugle call to arms

With flashing eyes they plunged into the fray

And among the first to give his life up for the land that he loved

Was the boy who dreamed of Dixie far away

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

They found it in his pocket, a bloodstained little note

A bullet hole had pierced it through and through

It began with «Darling Mary, if I don’t come back again

Just 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
