Joan Baez - The night they drove

^AmVirgil ^CCaine is the name, and I ^Fserved on the Danville ^Amtrain ^C'Til Stonewall's ^Amcavalry came, and ^Ftore up the tracks a^Amgain. ^FIn the winter of '^C65, we were ^Amhungry, just ^Fbarely alive. ^AmI took the train to ^FRichmond, it fell, it's a ^Ctime I re^Ammember, oh so ^Dwell,

The ^Cnight they ^Fdrove old Dixie ^Cdown, and all the ^Ambells were ringing, The ^Cnight they ^Fdrove old Dixie ^Cdown, and the ^Ampeople were singin'. They went ^CLa, La, La, La, ^AmLa, ^DLa, La, La, ^FLa, La, La, La

^AmBack with my wife in ^CTennessee, when ^Fone day she said to ^Amme ^C"Vir^Amgil, quick, come ^Fsee, there goes Rober^Amt E. Lee!" ^FNow I don't mind' ^Amchoppin' wood, and I ^Cdon't care if the ^Ammoney's no good. Ya ^Ftake what ya need, and ^Amleave the rest, but they should ^Cnever have ^Amtaken the very ^Dbest.

The ^Cnight they ^Fdrove old Dixie ^Cdown, and all the ^Ambells were ringing, The ^Cnight they ^Fdrove old Dixie ^Cdown, and the ^Ampeople were singin'. They went ^CLa, La, La, La, ^AmLa, ^DLa, La, La, ^FLa, La, La, La

^AmLike my father be^Cfore me,^F I'm a workin' ^Amman ^CLike my brother a^Ambove me,^F I took a rebel ^Amstand. He was ^Fjust eighteen, ^Amproud and brave, but a ^CYankee laid him ^Amin his grave I ^Fswear by the blood be^Amlow my feet, you can't ^Craise the cane back ^Amup when its in s^Deed.

The ^Cnight they ^Fdrove old Dixie ^Cdown, and all the ^Ambells were ringing, The ^Cnight they ^Fdrove old Dixie ^Cdown, and the ^Ampeople were singin'. They went ^CLa, La, La, La, ^AmLa, ^DLa, La, La, ^FLa, La, La, La
