Am Tag als Conny Kramer starb (The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down) English translation
von Juliane Werding

We lay dreaming in the grass
Our heads full of crazy ideas
Then he said, jokingly
"Come on, let's go travel"

Though the smoke tasted bitter
But Conny told me what he saw
An ocean of light and colour

The day Conny Kramer died
And all the bells tolled
The day Conny Kramer died
And all his friends cried for him

He often promised: "I'll drop it"
That gave me courage again
And I convinced myself
With love everything will be alright


But the joints turned into trips
There was no stopping the slippery slope
The people began to talk
But no one offered Conny any help

The day Conny Kramer died
And all the bells tolled
The day Conny Kramer died
And all his friends cried for him

At the last time he sair
"Now I can see the sky
I pleaded at him: "Oh Come back!"
He could no longer understand me

I didnt even have tears left
I lost everything that I had
Life simply goes on
The only thing left is the flowers on his grave

The day Conny Kramer died
And all the bells tolled
The day Conny Kramer died
And all his friends cried for him
