1. The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

From wiki:

Robert E. Lee (steamboat)

In the song "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" by The Band. The 'The' that signifies a reference to the steamboat rather than the man is unclear on the album version of the song, but is audible in the live performance on Before The Flood and more so on The Last Waltz

[In_The_Wind]

5. You don't know a goddamn thing about paddleboats do you?

Or are you just trying to piss me off?

[Dr. Strange]

6. Who does?

I mean, really, does ANYONE know anything about paddleboats? I mean, really?

Also, yes, pissing you off is part of my Raisin d'être.

[KMOD]

7. CCR did the original,

But I'm going to post Tina and Ike's version.

Little known fact: A verse was left out of the song.

Proud Mary hit a rock in the river
Started taking on some water and then
Almost starting sinking, but coast guard came a running
Hitched her up a ride back to dry land again.

9. Sigh

[countryjake]

11. Is that a sigh cause a car is not a paddleboat...

...and I'm just another dumbass or are you envisioning those folks still falling down?

It is about a bottomless lake, after all. (and I listened to and liked that SuperChunk song you posted)

[Ptah]

10. No

13. Sultana by Son Volt

1,700 people drowned on a Mississippi riverboat named Sultana in 1865.

14. I must with all due respect give the fuck up

If you mean Neil Young's Powderfinger.
