Lyrics The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - 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"
"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,
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"
"Na,
na,
na-na,
na-na,
na-na-na"
Like
my
father
before
me,
I'm
a
workin'
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
Cain
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,
"Na,
na-na-na,
na-na"
"Na,
na,
na-na,
na-na,
na-na-na"
