Joan Chandos Baez (nascida em 9 de janeiro de 1941 em Staten Island, Nova Iorque) é uma cantora americana de folk, conhecida por seu estilo vocal distinto e opiniões políticas apresentadas abertamente.
A carreira profissional de Baez começou em 1959 no "Newport Folk Festival", onde com 18 anos, foi a grande revelação. Ela lançou pela Vanguard Records no ano seguinte seu álbum de estréia, "Joan Baez", uma coleção de baladas tradicionais que vendeu moderadamente bem

Back with my wife in Tennessee, one day she said to me "Virgil, quick come see, there goes the Robert E Lee." Now. I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good You take what you need and you leave the rest, but they should never have taken the very best.
chorus
Like my father before me, I'm a workin' man Like my brother above me, I took a rebel stand He was eighteen, proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in his grave I swear by the blood beneath my feet, you can't raise a Cain back up when he's in defeat.
