The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down. She Went A Little Bit Caine is my name And I drove on the Danville train 'Til so much cavalry came And tore up the tracks 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 And all the bells were ringin' The night they drove Old Dixie down And all the people were singin' They went Laaaaaa, la-la-la-laaaaaa La-la, la-la La-la-la-laaaaaa. Back with my wife. Robbie Robertson wrote this song, which is set during the American Civil War - Dixie is a term indicating the old American South, which was defeated by the Union army. One of those voices belongs to Jimmy Buffett, who Putnam would later work with on his album Changes in Latitudes. Mujibar Kayabab from In Bed Wfuture Ex WifeAmazing how a Canadian songwriter captured American history of the Civil War era from a Southerner's perspective with such mostly accurate detail. more memorable and historically significant than any American songwriter ever had, as indicated right here in this awkwardly long, run-on sentence about The Night They Drove Ol Dixie Down. In later ones, the same anecdotes were recycled to explain the Storyville album. Chet Flippo The fact that Dixie was written by a Canadian - Robbie - is all the more telling. Bob Dylan started the trend releasing John Wesley Harding, the album that produced All Along the Watchtower. The Byrds followed with Sweetheart of the Rodeo, a classic of Americana, and the Band released Music from Big Pink, the record that influenced countless musicians. For me the song that best symbolizes that chapter in music history is The Bands The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down from their second album released in 1969, The Band. The song is a result of Robbie Robertsons research of the American Civil War. Levon Helm recalls: Robbie and I worked on the song up in Woodstock
