The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down (Live at The Keystone, Berkeley, CA, March 1, 1975)

Robbie Robertson

[Verse 1: Jerry Garcia]
Virgil Caine is the name and I served on the Danville train
'Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
In the winter of '65
We was hungry, just barely alive
By May 10th, Richmond had fell
It was a time I remember oh so well

[Chorus: Jerry Garcia]
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 singing
Na na na na na na, na na na na na na

[Verse 2: Jerry Garcia]
Back with my wife in Tennessee, one day she called for me
"Virgil, quick, come see, there goes Robert E. Lee"
I don't mind choppin' wood
And I don't care if the money's no good
Take what you need and leave the rest
They should never have taken the very best

[Chorus: Jerry Garcia]
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 singing
Na na na na na na, na na na na na na na

[Instrumental]

[Chorus: Jerry Garcia]
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 singing
Na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na

[Verse 3: Jerry Garcia]
Like my father before me, I'm a peaceful man
Like my brother before me, I took a rebel stand
Just eighteen, proud and brave
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
Swear by the blood runs on my feet
You can't raise a Cain back up when he's in defeat

[Chorus: Jerry Garcia]
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 singing
Na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na

[Outro: Jerry Garcia]
The night they drove old Dixie down
The night they drove old Dixie down
Na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na
