Virgil Caine is my name and I drove on

the Danville train

Till Stonewall's 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

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la

La la la

Back with my wife in Tennessee

And one day she said to me

Virgil quick come see

There goes the Robert E Lee

Now I don't mind chopping 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

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la

La la la

Like my father before me I'm

a working man

And like my brother before me

I took a rebel stand

Oh 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 a Caine back up

when he'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

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la

La la la
