The Band - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

"The night they laid the old South low"

"Virgil Caine is my name, and I served on the Danville train
Until Stoneman's cavalry came to tear up the tracks again
In the winter of '65 we were hungry, barely alive
By May the tenth Richmond had fallen, it's a moment I remember so well

The night they laid the old South low, and the bells were ringing
The night they laid the old South low, and the people were singing
and singing
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,

I was back in Tennessee with my wife, when one day she calls to me
"Virgil, hurry, come see, Robert E. Lee is passing by!"
Now I don’t care about chopping wood, and I don’t care if this money’s no good
Just take what you need and leave the rest,
But they never should have taken the things we cherished the best.

The night they laid the old South low,
