The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down (From THE LAST WALTZ, Live 11/25/76, Winterland Palace, San Francisco, CA)
Virgil Caine is the name And I served on the Danville train Till Stoneman's cavalry came And they 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 all the bells were ringing 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 When one day she called to me Said, '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 all the bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixie down And all the people were singin' Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
They went Na na na Na na na
Like my father before me, I'm a workin' man 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
And 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 all the bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixie down And all the people were singin'
They went Na na na Na na na
The night they drove old Dixie down And all the bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixie down And all the people were singin'
They went Na na na Na na na
