Levon Helm May 26, 1940 – April 19, 2012

“…..Like my father before me, I will work the land
And like my brother above me, who took a rebel stand
He was just eighteen, proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in his grave
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 ole’ dixie down….

LEVON HELM – drummer for The Band
