The Night They Drove Old Dixi Down
Baez Joan

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 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 ringin'

The night they drove Old Dixie down

And all the people were singin'

They went

Naaaaaa, Na-na-na-na-naaaaaa

na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na-naaaaa

Back with my wife in Tenessee

And one day she said to me

Virgil, quick come see

There goes the Robert E Lee

Now, I don't mind I'm 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

Naaaaaa, Na-na-na-na-naaaaaa

na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na-naaaaa

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 18, proud and brave

But a yankee laid him in his grave

I swear by the blood below my feet

You can raise the Caine back up

When it'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

Naaaaaa, Na-na-na-na-naaaaaa

na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na-naaaaa
