The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

Virgil Caine is my name
And I drove on the Danville train
Til so much cavalry came  騎兵
And tore up the track again
In the winter of sixty-five
We were hungry, just barely alive
I took the train to Richmond that fell
It's a time I remember
Oh, so well
The night they drove Old Dixie down 北方政府打敗南方
And all the bells were ringin'
The night they drove Old Dixie down
And all the people were singin'
Laaaaaa, la-la-la- aaaaaa

Back with my wife in Tennessee
And one day she said to me
Virgil, quick come see
There goes the Robert E Lee
Now, I don't care if my money's no good
Just take what you need and leave the rest
But they should never have taken the very best

The night they drove Old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringin'
The night hey drove Old Dixie down

Like my father before me
I'm a working man
And like my brother before me
I took a rebel stand
Well, he was just 18, proud and brave
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
I swear by the blood below my feet 哥哥的血 mud below my fee
You can't raise the/a Caine back up 復活
When he's in defeat.

raise Cain = to make a lot of trouble; to raise hell.
Let's stop raising Cain.手足殘殺
