it's _the_ Robert E. Lee in the song. That's a _ship_ (a riverboat), not a Southern General that the song is referring to. Jim Devine <<<<<>>>>>

believe above is specific to baez's version, she added word 'the', it is not in original by the band, robbie robertson's lyric is absent word 'the', levon helm does sing the lyric as "a robert lee" in live versions, interestingly, lee did not travel through tennessee following civil war... mh
