An all-time great.
Sung beautifully by Joan Baez
Virgil Caine is the name and I served on the Danville train 'Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive By May the tenth, Richmond had fell It's a time I remember, oh so well The night they drove old Dixie down And the bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixie down And the people were singing They went, "La, la, la" Back with my wife in Tennessee, when one day she called to me "Virgil, quick, come see, there goes the Robert E.Lee" Now I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest But they should never have taken the very best The night they drove old Dixie down And the bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixie down And all the people were singing They went, "La, la, la" Like my father before me, I will work the land And like my brother above me, who took a rebel stand He was just eighteen, proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in his grave I swear by the mud below 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 ringing The night they drove old Dixie downAnd all the people were singing They went, "Na, na, na" The night they drove old Dixie down And all the bells were ringingThe night they drove old Dixie downAnd the people were singing They went, "Na, na, na"
