Karaoké The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down Joan Baez

Virgil Caine is my name and

I drove on the Danville Train

'Till Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again

In the winter of sixty five 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 ringing

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 and there goes the Robert E. Lee

Now I don't mind them choppin' wood

And I don't care if the money's no good

Just take what ya 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 ringing

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 Caine back up when it's in defeat

The night they drove old dixie down

And all the bells were ringing

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
