The Night They Drove Joan Baez
[C] [Am] Virgil [C]Caine is my name, and I drove on th[F]e Danville train, [Am]
'[C]Til Stoneman's Calvery [Am]came and tore up the track[F]s again. [Am]
[F]In the winter of '65, W[C]e were hungry, just b[Am]arely alive. [F]
[Am] By May the tenth, Richmond[F] had fell, it's a time I remember, oh[C] so well, [Am] [D]
(Chorus)
The Nigh[C]t They Drove O[Am]ld Dixie Down, [F]and the b[C]ells were ringing, [Am] [F]
The Nigh[C]t They Drove Ol[Am]d Dixie Down, [F]and the p[C]eople were singin'. T[Am]hey went [F]
[C]La, La, La, L[Am]a, La, La, La, La[D], La, La, La, La, [F] La, La, [C]
B[Am]ack with my wife in Tennessee[C], When one day she said to [F]me, [Am]
[C] "Virgil, q[Am]uick, come see, there goe[F]s a Robert E. Lee!" [Am]
[F] Now I don't mind choppin' w[C]ood, and I don't care if the m[A]on[m]ey's no good. [F]
Y[Am]a take what ya need and ya leave the rest, [F]
But they shoul[C]d never have taken the very b[Am]est. [D]
(Chorus)
[Am] Like my father befor[C]e me, I will wor[F]k the land, [Am]
L[C]ike my brother above me,[Am] who took a rebel stan[F]d. [Am]
H[F]e was just eighteen, proud and br[C]ave, But a Yankee laid him in his gr[Am]ave, [F]
[Am] I swear by the mud below my [F]feet,
Yo[C]u can't raise a Caine back up when he's in[Am] defeat. [D]
(Chorus and fade)
