Transpozícia: [+1 +2 -1 -2] *** Autor textu: Robbie Robertson *** Autor hudby: R. R. |
EmVirgil GCain is my name
and I Cdrove on the Donville Emtrain
GTill Stoneman`s Emcavalry came
and Ctore up the tracks Eagain
CIn the winter ofGsixtyfive,
we were Emhungry, just Cbarely alive
EmI drove a train to C Richmond, Nefelle
It was Gtime I remember very Awell
CHORUS:
The Gnight they Emdrove old CDixie Gdown,
and all the Embells were ringing
GThe night they Emdrove old CDixie Gdown,
and all the Empeople were singing
(they went:) GNaa nana Emnaa nana Ana naa na naa na Cnaa naa na naa na na naa
Back with my wife in Tennessee,
one day she said to me:
"Virgil, quick come see,
there goes Robert E. Lee"
Now, I don`t mind choppin` wood,
and I don`t care if the money`s no good
You take what you need and you leave the rest
But they should never have taken the very best
CHORUS:...
Like my father before me,
I`m working man
Like my brother above me,
I took a rebel stand
He was eighteen, proud and brave,
but a Yankee laid him in his grave
I swear by blood beneath my feet,
you can`t raise a Cain back up when he`s in defeat
Chorus... (end on Em)
