I can’t get past the way that Joan mangled the lyrics. UGH.

Sorry, but Joan Baez’s version is a joke compared to the Band.

Agree. The straightforward folk song rendition works well.

Pet Peeve: Joan substitutes “so much cavalry came” for Levon’s “Stoneman’s Cavalry came” — a reference to the cavalry chief of the Union Army of the Potomac. It just weakens the historical aspect a bit, but that’s what the song is all about.
