======================= Song Title: THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OLD DIXIE DOWN Artist: JOAN BAEZ =======================
Virgil Cain 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 drove a train to Richmond, Nefelle. 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 na na
Back with my wife in Tennessee, one day she said 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 You 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 na na
Like my father before me, I'm a workin' man And like my brother above me, I took a rebel stand and he was just eighteen, proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in his grave I swear by the blood beneath my feet, you can't raise a Cain 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 na Na na na na na na na na na na
