The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down (Remastered) - John Denver

作词：J. R. Robertson

作曲：J. R. Robertson

Virgil Caine is the name

I served on the Danville Train

So much cavalry came

And tore up the tracks again

In the summer of sixty-five

We were hungry just barely alive

By May the tenth Richmond had fell

It's a time I remember so well

The night they drove old Dixie down

And the bells were ringin'

The night they drove old Dixie down

And the people were singin'

They went la na na na na na

La na na na na na na na

Back home in Tennessee

My wife called out for me

Say Virgil come quick and see

There goes Robert E Lee

I don't mind choppin' wood

And I don't care if da money ain't good

You take what you need and save the rest

But they should never have taken the very best

The night they drove old Dixie down

And the bells were ringin'

The night they drove old Dixie down

And the people were singin'

They went la na na na na na

La na na na na na na na

Like my father before me

He was a workin' man

Like my brother above me

He took a rebel's stand

He was just eighteen proud and brave

When a Yankee laid him in his grave

I swear by the blood beneath my feet

You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat

The night they drove old Dixie down

And the bells were ringin'

The night they drove old Dixie down

And the people were singin'

They went la na na na na na

La na na na na na na na

The night they drove old Dixie down

And the bells were ringin'

The night they drove old Dixie down

And the people were singin'

They went la na na na na na

La na na na na na na na

La na na na na na

La na na na na na na na
