I do not know how to speak English. I'm using Google translator. What is this song about? What has to do with the civil war?

It makes more sense now, listening this song from Leadbelly

My Mama taught my brother and me this song when we were little children in North Carolina. It brings me such happy memories!

I'm just a middle class white guy from Italy and I've always wandered why this tune strikes so deep with me. 

Patrick Harrison

Such powerful singing and dignity from an American who is up there with the best.

This guy gave inspiration to great bands like CCR. Stop all the hate....They also covered Midnight Special. Stop all the hate. This is as classic as it gets.

Interesting how he gradually increases the tempo throughout the song. It seems to be intentional because a musician of his caliber should be able to keep a fairly steady beat, and it also increases very steadily and gradually. Also, my understanding is that Leadbelly wrote this song; it is great contribution IMO.
