The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - Live at LA Forum, Inglewood, CA - February 1974

Virgil Caine is the name, and I served on the Danville train
 'Til Stoneman's cavalry came and they tore up the tracks again
 In the winter of 65, we were hungry, just barely alive
 By May 10 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
 ♪
 Back with my wife in Tennessee, when one day she called to me
 Said, "Virgil, quick come see, there goes Robert E. Lee"
 Now I don't mind choppin' wood
 And I don't care if my money's no good
 You take what you need and you 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
 ♪
 Like my father before me, I will work the land
 And like my brother up above me, who took a rebel stand
 He was just 18, 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
 ♪
 The night they drove old Dixie down
 And all the bells were ringing
 The night they drove old Dixie down
 And hear the sheer mob were singin', they went
