"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" Is A Song Written By Canadian Musician Robbie Robertson First Recorded By The Band In 1969 And Released On Their Self-Titled Second Album. The Lyrics Tell Of The Last Days Of The American Civil War And Its Aftermath. Confederate Soldier Virgil Caine "served On The Danville Train " The Main Supply Line Into The Confederate Capital Of Richmond Virginia. General Robert E. Lee's Army Of Northern Virginia Is Holding The Line At The Siege Of Petersburg. As Part Of The Offensive Campaign Union Army General George Stoneman's Forces "tore Up The Track Again". The Siege Lasted From June 1864 To April 1865 When Both Petersburg And Richmond Fell And Lee's Troops Were Starving At The End "We Were Hungry / Just Barely Alive" . Virgil Relates And Mourns The Loss Of His Brother "He Was Just Eighteen Proud And Brave / But A Yankee Laid Him In His Grave." Ralph J. Gleason In The Review In Rolling Stone US Edition Only Of October 1969 Explains Why This Song Has Such An Impact On Listeners "Nothing I Have Read … Has Brought Home The Overwhelming Human Sense Of History That This Song Does. The Only Thing I Can Relate It To At All Is 'The Red Badge Of Courage'. It's A Remarkable Song The Rhythmic Structure The Voice Of Levon And The Bass Line With The Drum Accents And Then The Heavy Close Harmony Of Levon Richard And Rick In The Theme Make It Seem Impossible That This Isn't Some Traditional Material Handed Down From Father To Son Straight From That Winter Of 1865 To Today. It Has That Ring Of Truth And The Whole Aura Of Authenticity." Robertson Claimed That He Had The Music To The Song In His Head But Had No Idea What It Was To Be About. "At Some Point The Concept Blurted Out To Me. Then I Went And I Did Some Research And I Wrote The Lyrics To The Song." Robertson Continued "When I First Went Down South I Remember That A Quite Common Expression Would Be 'Well Don't Worry The South's Gonna Rise Again.' At One Point When I Heard It I Thought It Was Kind Of A Funny Statement And Then I Heard It Another Time And I Was Really Touched By It. I Thought 'God Because I Keep Hearing This There's Pain Here There Is A Sadness Here.' In Americana Land It's A Kind Of A Beautiful Sadness."

"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" is a song written by Canadian musician Robbie Robertson, first recorded by The Band in 1969 and released on their self-titled second album.
The lyrics tell of the last days of the American Civil War and its aftermath. Confederate soldier Virgil Caine "served on the Danville train," the main supply line into the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia. General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia is holding the line at the Siege of Petersburg. As part of the offensive campaign, Union Army General George Stoneman's forces "tore up the track again". The siege lasted from June 1864 to April 1865, when both Petersburg and Richmond fell, and Lee's troops were starving at the end ("We were hungry / Just barely alive"). Virgil relates and mourns the loss of his brother: "He was just eighteen, proud and brave / But a Yankee laid him in his grave."
Ralph J. Gleason (in the review in Rolling Stone (US edition only) of October 1969) explains why this song has such an impact on listeners: "Nothing I have read … has brought home the overwhelming human sense of history that this song does. The only thing I can relate it to at all is 'The Red Badge of Courage'. It's a remarkable song, the rhythmic structure, the voice of Levon and the bass line with the drum accents and then the heavy close harmony of Levon, Richard and Rick in the theme, make it seem impossible that this isn't some traditional material handed down from father to son straight from that winter of 1865 to today. It has that ring of truth and the whole aura of authenticity."
Robertson claimed that he had the music to the song in his head but had no idea what it was to be about. "At some point [the concept] blurted out to me. Then I went and I did some research and I wrote the lyrics to the song." Robertson continued, "When I first went down South, I remember that a quite common expression would be, 'Well don't worry, the South's gonna rise again.' At one point when I heard it I thought it was kind of a funny statement and then I heard it another time and I was really touched by it. I thought, 'God, because I keep hearing this, there's pain here, there is a sadness here.' In Americana land, it's a kind of a beautiful sadness." Read more on Last.fm.
