The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down(Live At The Academy Of Music/1971/2013 Mix) - The Band

作词：Robbie Robertson

作曲：Robbie Robertson

Virgil Caine is the name

and I served on the Danville train

'Til Stoneman's 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

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

La La La La La La La La La La La La La La

Back with my wife in Tennessee

When one day she told to me

Virgil quick come see there goes Robert E Lee

I don't mind' chopping wood

and I don't care if my 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' They went

La La La La La La La La La La La La La La

Like my father before me I'm a workin' man

and Like my brother above me I 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

La La La La La La La La La La La La La La

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

La La La La La La La La La La La La La La
