Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Down in the Cane Break / Canebrake
In the movie, Hell in the Pacific, Lee Marvin uses the following words;



Down by the canebrake
Close by the mill
There lived a colored gal
And her name was Nancy Dill.

I told her that I loved her
And loved her mighty fine
And if she would come with me
I soon would make her mine.

Come along, come won't cha
Come along with me
And I'll take you down to
Ten – nes- see

Come along, come woncha
Come along with me
And I'll take you down to
Ten-nes-see.
