The Night They Drove Old Dixie D - John Denver (约翰·丹佛)
Virgil Caine is the name
I served on the
Danville Train
So much cavalry came
And tore up the tracks again
In the summer of sixty-five
We were hungry just barely alive
By May the tenth
Richmond had fellIt's a time
I remember so well
The night they drove old
Dixie down
And the bells were ringin'
The night they drove old
Dixie down
And the people were singin'
They went la na na na na na
La na na na na na na na
Back home in Tennessee
My wife called out for me
Say Virgil come quick and see
There goes
Robert E Lee
I don't mind choppin' wood
And I don't care if da money ain't good
You take what you need and save the rest
But they should never have taken the very best
The night they drove old
Dixie down
And the bells were ringin'
The night they drove old
Dixie down
And the people were singin'
They went la na na na na na
La na na na na na na na
Like my father before me
He was a workin' manLike my brother above me
He took a rebel's stand
He was just eighteen proud and brave
When a Yankee laid him in his grave
I swear by the blood beneath my feet
You can't raise a Caine back up
When he's in defeat
The night they drove old
Dixie down
And the bells were ringin'
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the people were singin'
They went la na na na na na
La na na na na na na na
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringin'
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the people were singin'
They went la na na na na na
La na na na na na na na
La na na na na na na na
La na na na na na na na
La na na na na na na na
La na na na na na na na
