"The Night they drove G Dubya Down" (Apologies to the Band)

Edited on Wed Nov-09-05 01:14 PM by Rowdyboy

(edited to give proper credit to the author, but I still love the Joan Baez version)

Big Tim Kaine is my name, and I rode on the Warner train
Till Kilgore's goons came, and tore up the truth again
In the autumn of 2005, Dems were angry, just barely alive,
On Nov 8th, Richmond fell, it was a night, I remember, oh so well

The night they drove G Dubya down
and all the bells were ringing
The night they drove G Dubya down
and all the people were singing
Na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na

7. Nope - The Band wrote it......

Actually it is credited to Robbie Robertson.

Joan just did a cover of it.

But we can apologize to her anyway.....
