lyrics

Virgil Caine well it is my name
And I worked on that Danville train
‘til Stoneman’s cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
In the winter of ‘65
We were hungry just barely alive
By May the tenth Richmond fell
It was a time I remember ah so well

The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
They went na na na...

Back with my wife in Tennessee
When one day she called to me
Virgil quick come out and see
That can’t be the Robert E. Lee
Now I don’t mind chopping wood
And I don’t care that the money’s no good
Take what you need and leave the rest
They should have never taken the very best

The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
They went na na na...

Like my father before me
I am a working man
And like my brother before me
I take a rebel stand
Eighteen proud and brave
A Yankee laid him in his grave
I swear by the mud below my feet
You can’t raise a Caine when he’s in defeat

The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
They went na na na...
