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 tore up the tracks again In the winter of sixty-five We were hungry just barely alive By May tenth Richmond had fell It was a time I remember oh so well
The night they drove old Dixie down And the bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixie down And the people were singing, they went La la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la
Like my father before me I will work the land (note 1) And like my brother above me who took a rebel stand He was just eighteen, proud and brave When a Yankee laid him in his grave I swear by the mud below my feet You can't raise a Cain back up when he's in defeat

Back with my wife in Tennessee when one day she called to me (note 2) Virgil, quick come see, there goes 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 keep the rest But they should never have taken the very best
The night they drove old Dixie down And the bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixie down And the people were singing, they went La la la la la la, la la la la la la la la, la
