Well, maybe they're not much different than anybody else. 02:16.000 --> 02:18.000 Twenty-five hundred of them. 02:18.000 --> 02:22.000 The kids went to schools with big lawns and long walks. 02:22.000 --> 02:26.000 And the men walked up Oak Street from the mills right after the five o'clock whistle. 02:26.000 --> 02:31.000 Some stopped for a beer at Mike's or the Green Rooster or Eddie's Tavern. 02:31.000 --> 02:34.000 And some went right on home. 02:34.000 --> 02:37.000 Sounds wonderfully ordinary, doesn't it? 02:37.000 --> 02:42.000 That's what I thought. Until they tried to hang me. 02:47.000 --> 02:50.000 Dixie! Dixie! 02:50.000 --> 02:51.000 Oh, Dixie! 02:51.000 --> 02:53.000 I can't believe it. 02:53.000 --> 02:56.000 It's me, all right.
