THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OLD DIXIE DOWN

[shutdafup]

Sounds like Hank Hill - I give a thumbs-up - LOL:>)

[ppetal1]

I've listened to a lot attempts at this song. This one does come from the heart. I will come back again next time I got time. Nice.

[micmoable]

The old South was the best South in a lot of ways

[brian6078]

This must have been a terrible time for Americans,North and South.More Americans died fighting this war than all other wars combined.The south really had their work cut out for them being out numbered 3-1.Something like 2.3 million to 825,000 men

[snapperjohn1000]

the un civil war is about to repeat it self again in america, this time a war between the races

[Cracken1979]

31 Yanks hated this video.

[BigAlLBL]

Excellent! I have heard a lot of versions of this song and this is my 2nd favourite arrangement of all of them, and that is up against some pretty stiff competition.

[atombomb31458]

terrific job---very enjoyable

[ThePeoplesPowerParty]

Ignore the people who disliked this, it's just for the quality of the recording. You have a great voice and you're obviously a very talented man. . . good job friend

[JerrJaspel]

The yankees stole our states CSA will rise again

[Defiino]

FUCKING WRECKED IT



[1stBigCol]

You Murdered this song

[pommyauss]

thanks

[dodecca]

nice. I've been listening to lots of versions this evening and this is the best 'unknown' recording I've heard - but hey, it 's THE Robert E Lee! x

[sanddmann03]

please stop......

[homegrowntomatoe90]

Nice cover! Good job! ;)

[jelHax]

actually sk8.... the band's version is sick, but jerry garcia also does a really wonderful rendition.. you can check it on youtube =)

Not to take anything away from the band of course, but jerry's version is just haunting and beautiful.

[sk8enjoi000]

Do not give Joan the credit, this amazing song was written by THE BAND and their version is unrepeatable, they have it perfect, btw you did an alright cover, but you didnt raise your voice at the right parts man.

[cardrdr]

You should use the original lyrics from The Band. They make much more sense than Baez' senseless interpretation.

[PaulLouisArcher]

"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" is a song written by Canadian musician Robbie Robertson, first recorded by The Band in 1969. It's NOT written by Joan Baez.

[FinalWar1444]

it is a shame the culture of the south was completely destroyed by northern opression.

[PowerPlantEngineer]

@FinalWar1444 you stupid fuck, the Southern culture was one of torture, terror, slavery, molesting women and children, and claiming GOd ordained it. It was a vile sick insane culture. 

You fucks are lucky you lost the civil war, retard. Slavery was a cancer that was going to kill you fucks, one way or another

[robielv]

@PowerPlantEngineer true ,true true they where a bunch of not so much lazy but felt superior, and deserving to a weaker race back then ,n totally take advantage beyond our comprehention of blacks n use them 2do there labor, regardless if this totally why lincoln who i think was our greatest president,had other reasons for the war ,this was justified to go to war more than anything ,soo what if there where other reasons,last thingbackthen southerners werelazy n usedblacks2 do therework 4 them.

[robh64]

@PowerPlantEngineer pretty stupid comment, slaves were considered expensive property like a car. would you beat up your car and expect it to keep its worth? But you also didnt mention the north in its treament of foreigners coming to america, the slums, 5 points in new york etc, the lynching of blacks in ny over the draft. Gen Grant owning slaves etc. dont be so biased

[PowerPlantEngineer]

@robh64 rob dumb fuck -- Lee tortured young GIRLS --- probably because it gave him pleasure, but also it scared the shit out of the other girls, to make them obey.

Learn why they tortured dumb fuck. In fact, it was a LAW in Virginia that you HAD to torture any slave that ran away. Learn some basics you stupid fuck.

[robh64]

@PowerPlantEngineer Are you really so uneduacated that you cannot write without expletives. Virginia had a lot of freed slaves and lots of laws. Not so primitive as you imagine. I wouldnt torture something I paid thousands for in todays money.

[PowerPlantEngineer]

@robh64 you dumb fuck, Lee tortured his slave girls, retard. Fact. The law said he had to, if they escaped, but Lee needed no law to get him to torture girls, he got off on it.

GO read the book. Lee tortured slaves. WIthout torture and terror, you stupid fuck, slaves would run away. The torture was in case they ran away, you fucking idiot. And it was done OFTEN.

Those who didn't torture run aways not only broke the law, dumb fuck, they soon lost all their slaves.

[TRKWP]

Sounds good to me - a very good ballad.

[DAT573]

Will you shut up!

[brad1970dd]

guy this song isnt you your not even siging your talkin lmao its good for a fuckin laugh my god this is so funny

[tcathunder]

this guys sucks

[derwolfistda]

this version of this great song is like : LA LA LA LA LA. thumbs down !

[NatelyHunnicutt]

Nice job! Keep it up!

[Wdd4lif3]

shit...go listen to the band....

[RobertGary1]

Hey, if you get the words right, you can't call it the Joan Baez version. :) She was never interested in the historical aspect of the song, saying she's just heard it on the radio. When Robertson wrote the song it was after visiting the South. He was very impressed with how proud Southerns are. He went back and spent some time researching the war and then wrote the song. Baez didn't really care and, as a result, got the lyrics wrong.

[vnrigt]

I favorited this video. I have never heard a voice like this. Now I have to look what else you sing.

[beboploo]

you should come to liverpool an singl

[davidgrahamscott]

Good stuff!

[howgoyoufar]

...Not really. Robbie Robertson of The Band wrote it. Levon Helm sang it.

Joan sings it incorrectly which is frustrating..

[duvaldallas]

haha she only sings it incorrectly because she mis-heard the lyrics at the time she covered it

either way id say her version is decent

but i havent heard any covers come close to the original

[dockie1971]

Pretty sure Robbie Robertson of "The Band" actually wrote the song.

[RobertGary1]

Today its so hard for us to understand the civil war because we've all lived in an era of a strong federal gov't. However, at the time of the civil was we were still a Union of states. The Union had little affect on people's lives and the gov't people saw was their strong state gov't. Today most state powers have been neutered by our federal gov't. Many would argue that we can't continue to call ourselves "The United States of America" when we have become more of a Federal Republic of America.

[PowerPlantEngineer]

@RobertGary1 Wrong dumb fuck -- the civil war had nothing to do with states rights. In fact, the SOuth hated states rights. States rights is a fucking excuse you retards made up. See what you fucktards were saying THEN -- you were saying slavery THEN dumb fuck.

Ironically, the South hated states rights -- and went to war to stop new states from having the right to STOP slavery

[elamite66]

@RobertGary1 that's why it's called the federal government For 100 years after the civil war states could do pretty much what they wanted and look what happened cross a line and black people can't vote got to sit on the back of the bus lynch a nigger in front of a whole town and the court rules 'not guilty" segregated schools and everything else If that's your idea of state's rights than we don't need it What were the people who purchased those slaves thinking of? not the future that's for sure!
