"Virgil Caine is my name,
And I drove on the Danville Train.
Till so much cavalry came,
And tore up the tracks again.
In the winter of sixty-five,
We were hungry, just barely alive.
I took the train to Richmond, that fell.
It was a time I remember, oh, so well.
The night they drove Old Dixie down.
And all the bells were ringin'.
The night they drove Old Dixie down.
And all the people were singin'.
They went naaaaaa, na-na-na-na-naaaaaa
Na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na-naaaaaa.
Back with my wife in Tenessee,
And one day she said to me,
Virgil, quick come see,
There goes the Robert E. Lee.
Now, I don't mind, I'm choppin' wood,
And I don't care if the money's no good.
Just take what you need and leave the rest.
But they should never have taken the very best.
The night they drove Old Dixie down.
And all the bells were ringin'.
The night they drove Old Dixie down.
And all the people were singin'.
They went naaaaaa, na-na-na-na-naaaaaa
Na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na-naaaaaa.
Like my father before me,
I'm a working man.
And like my brother before me,
I took a rebel stand.
Well, he was just 18, proud and brave,
But a yankee laid him in his grave.
I swear by the blood below my feet,
You can't raise the Caine back up.
When it's in defeat.
The night they drove Old Dixie down.
And all the bells were ringin'.
The night they drove Old Dixie down.
And all the people were singin'.
They went naaaaaa, na-na-na-na-naaaaaa
Na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na-naaaaaa. " | |
