Yeah, "Dixie" is pretty good, but I like "John Brown's Body" better.

Re: Favorite Civil War Song


My namesake and a lovely little tune to go with it, sometimes used by the film director John Ford in some of his well known westerns :

The years creep slowly by, Lorena,
The snow is on the grass again;
The sun's low down the sky Lorena,
The frost gleams where the flowers have been;
But the heart throbs on as lovely now,
As when the summer days were nigh;
Oh, the sun can never dip so low,
Adown affection's cloudless sky...

romantic ?
