  The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
  (Lyrics transcribed from the studio recording by) Joan Baez
  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, .... "
  
  Back with my wife in Tennessee
  And one day she said 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, ..... "
  
  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 18, 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, ..... "
