Bob Dylan - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down Lyrics

Align:    
  • Virgil caine is the name,
  • And I served on the danville train,
  • til stonemans 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,
  • Its 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 singin.
  • They went
  • La, la, la, la, la, la,
  • La, la, la, la, la, la,
  • La, la,
  • Back with my wife in tennessee,
  • When one day she called to me,
  • Virgil, quick, come see,
  • There goes robert e. lee!
  • Now I dont mind choppin wood,
  • And I dont care if the moneys 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 the people were singin.
  • Like my father before me,
  • I will work the land,
  • 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 cant raise a caine back up
  • When hes in defeat.
