Virgil Caine is the name

I served on the Dansyl Train

So much cavalry came and tore up the tracks again

In the summer of sixty-five we were hungry just barely alive

By May the tenth Richmond had fell it's a time

I remember so well

The night they drove old Dixie down and the bells were ringin'

The night they drove old Dixie down

And the people were singin'

They went la na na na na na la na na na na na na na

Back home in Tennessee my wife called out for me

Say Virgil come quick and see there goes Robert E Lee

I don't mind choppin' wood

And I don't care if da money ain't good

You take what you need and save the rest

But they should never have taken the very best

The night they drove old Dixie down and the bells were ringin'

The night they drove old Dixie down

And the people were singin'

They went la na na na na na la na na na na na na na

Like my father before me he was a workin' man

Like my brother above me he took a rebel's stand

He was just eighteen proud and brave

When a Yankee laid him in his grave

I swear by the blood beneath my feet

You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat

The night they drove old Dixie down and the bells were ringin'

The night they drove old Dixie down

And the people were singin'

They went la na na na na na la na na na na na na na

The night they drove old Dixie down and the bells were ringin'

The night they drove old Dixie down

And the people were singin'

They went la na na na na na la na na na na na na na
