Lyrics

[00:03.37] Virgil Caine is the name I served on the Danville Train
[00:10.04] So much cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
[00:16.69] In the summer of sixty-five we were hungry just barely alive
[00:23.39] By May the tenth, Richmond had fell it's a time I remember so well
[00:33.10] The night they drove old Dixie down and the bells were ringin'
[00:40.15] The night they drove old Dixie down and the people were singin'
[00:46.66] They went la, na, na, na, na, na
[00:50.17] La, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
[01:02.38] Back home in Tennessee, my wife called out for me
[01:09.01] Say Virgil come quick and see, there goes Robert E Lee
[01:15.44] I don't mind choppin' wood
[01:18.06] And I don't care if the money ain't good
[01:21.65] You take what you need and save the rest
[01:24.47] But they should never have taken the very best
[01:31.62] The night they drove old Dixie down and the bells were ringin'
[01:38.41] The night they drove old Dixie down and the people were singin'
[01:44.76] They went la, na, na, na, na, na
[01:48.20] La, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
[01:59.85] Like my father before me
[02:02.91] He was a workin' man
[02:06.53] Like my brother above me
[02:09.53] He took a rebel's stand
[02:12.79] He was just eighteen proud and brave when a Yankee laid him in his grave
[02:19.58] I swear by the blood beneath my feet
[02:22.57] You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat
[02:29.46] The night they drove old Dixie down and the bells were ringin'
[02:36.38] The night they drove old Dixie down and the people were singin'
[02:42.86] They went la, na, na, na, na, na
[02:46.28] La, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
[03:03.93] The night they drove old Dixie down and the bells were ringin'
[03:10.65] The night they drove old Dixie down and the people were singin'
[03:17.25] They went la, na, na, na, na, na
[03:20.68] La, na, na, na, na, na, na, na ...
