The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

In the style of

Joan Baez

Lyrics

virgil caine is my name
and i drove on
the danville train
till so much
cavalry came
and tore up
the tracks again

in the winter of '65
we were hungry
just barely alive
i took the train
to richmond that fell
it was a time
i remember
oh so well

the night they drove
old dixie down
and all the bells
were ringin'
the night they drove
old dixie down

and all the people
were singin'
they went
na na na na na na
na na na na
na na na na na

back with my wife
in tennessee
and one day
she said to me
virgil quick come see
a-there goes
the robert e. lee

now i don't mind
'em choppin' wood
and i don't care
if the
money's no good

just take
what you need
and leave the rest
but they should never
have taken
the very best

the night they drove
old dixie down
and all the bells
were ringin'
the night they drove
old dixie down

and all the people
were singin'
they went
na na na na na na
na na na na
na na na na na

like my father
before me
i'm a working man
and like my brother
before me
i took a rebel stand

well he was
just eighteen
proud and brave
but a yankee
laid him in his grave

i swear by the blood
below my feet
you can't raise
the cane back up
when it's in the feed

the night they drove
old dixie down
and all the bells
were ringin'
the night they drove
old dixie down

and all the people
were singin'
they went
na na na na na na
na na na na
na na na na na
