Lyric:

Joan Baez


The Night They Drove Old Dixi Down

(CHORUS)
The night they drove old Dixi down
And the bells were ringin';
The night they drove old Dixi down
And all the people were singin', they went:
La la, la, 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 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.

Like my father before me I will work the land
Just like my brother above me, who took a Rebel stand;
He was just eighteen, my proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in his grave.
I swear by the mud below my feet You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat.
