Joan Baez - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - text písně

Emi G C Emi
1.Virgil Cain is my name and I served on the Danville train
G Emi C Emi
till Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
C G
in the winter of sixty-five
Emi C
we were hungry just barely alive
Emi C
I drove a train to Richmond, Nefelle
G Emi D
it was a time I remember very well.
G C G
R:The night they drove old Dixie down
Emi
and all the bells were ringin'
G C G
the night they drove old Dixie down
Emi
and all the people were singin'
G Emi AmiD
na na na ...
2.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 you leave the rest
but they should never have taken the very best.
R:
3.Like my father before me I'm a workin' man
and like my brother above me I took a rebel stand
he was 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.
