Joan Baez - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down (Live)
Written by：Robertson Robbie
Virgil caine is my name and I drove on the danville train
'Til 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
Back with my wife in tennessee
And one day she comes to me
Virgil quick come see
There goes robert e lee
Now I don't mind I'm chopping 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
Like my father before me I'm a working man
And like my brother before me I took a rebel stand
Oh 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 a cane back up when he's in defeat
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
