L'Aime Des Accordeons - The Left Bank Dixie Band

Left bank, I'm waiting for someone Someone to be my friend Outside, traffic's running slowly I hear it from my window Without you, I'm getting lost Without you, there's no release I can't hold the sun I can't hold the sun It's raining, love is not around me How can it get so cold? Homesick, this is how I feel now This is how you left me Without you, I'm getting lost Without you, there's no release I can't hold the sun I can't hold the sun Without you, I'm getting lost Without you, there's no release I can't hold the sun I can't hold the sun

Lee" Now I don't mind choppin' wood and I don't care if the money no good You take what you need but you leave the rest They should never have taken the very best The night they drove old Dixie down All the bells was ringing The night they drove old Dixie down And all the people were singin' they went Na, na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na, na, na Like my father before me, I'm a workin' man Like my brother before me, who took a rebel stand He was just eighteen, proud and brave When a Yankee laid him in his grave And I swear by the mud below my feet You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat The night they drove old Dixie down All them bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixie down And all the people were singin' they went Na, na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na, na, na The night they drove old Dixie down All them bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixie down And all the people were singin' they went Na, na, na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
