The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

Virgil Caine is the name
 And I served on the Danville train
 'Til Stoneman's cavalry came
 And they tore up the tracks again
 In the winter of '65
 We were hungry, just barely alive
 By May the tenth, Richmond had fell
 It's a time I remember, oh so well
 The night they drove Old Dixie down
 And all her bells were ringing
 The night they drove Old Dixie down
 And all the people were singin', they went, na na na
 Back with my wife in Tennessee
 When one day she called to me
 Said, "Virgil, quick, come see
 There goes Robert. E. Lee"
 Now, I don't mind choppin' wood
 And I don't care if my money's no good
 You take what you need and you leave the rest
 But they should never have taken the very best
 The night they drove Old Dixie down
 And all her bells were ringing
 The night they drove Old Dixie down
 And all the people were singin', they went, na na na
 Like my father before me
 I will work the land
 And like my brother up above me
 Who took a rebels stand
 He was just eighteen, proud and brave
 But a Yankee laid him in his grave
 And I swear by the mud below my feet
 You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat
 The night they drove Old Dixie down
 When all her bells were ringing
 The night they drove Old Dixie down
 And all the people were singin', they went, na na na
 The night they drove Old Dixie down
 When all her bells were ringing
 The night they drove Old Dixie down
 And you could hear 'em all singin', they went, na na na
