[ti: The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down]
[length: 03:41]
[00:05.56]Virgil Caine is my name and I drove on the Danville train
[00:12.73]George Stoneman’s cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
[00:20.73]In the winter of ’65, we were hungry, just barely alive
[00:28.64]I took the train to Richmond fell
[00:31.57]It was a time that I remember, oh, so well
[00:39.55]The night they drove old Dixie down
[00:45.49]And all the bells were ringin’
[00:47.88]The night they drove old Dixie down
[00:53.43]And all the people were singin’
[00:55.66]They went, “Na, na-na-na-na-na
[00:59.90]Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na”
[01:06.58]
[01:13.97]Back with my wife in Tennessee
[01:17.68]And one day she said to me
[01:22.71]”Virgil, quick, come see, Lord
[01:25.87]There goes Robert E. Lee”
[01:29.60]Now I don’t mind, I’m chopping wood
[01:33.35]And I don’t care if the money’s no good
[01:37.44]Just take what you need, Lord, and leave the rest
[01:41.25]They should never have taken the very best
[01:49.57]The night they drove old Dixie down
[01:55.27]And all the bells were ringin’
[01:57.64]The night they drove old Dixie down
[02:03.07]And all the people were singin’
[02:05.57]They went, “Na, na-na-na-na-na
[02:09.79]Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na”
[02:23.43]Like my father before me
[02:27.93]Now I’m a working man
[02:31.88]And like my brother before me, y’all
[02:35.86]I took my rebel stand
[02:38.82]For he was just 18, proud and brave
[02:43.37]But a Yankee laid him in his grave
[02:47.42]I swear by the blood below my feet
[02:51.16]You can’t raise a Caine back up when he’s in defeat
[02:59.30]The night they drove old Dixie down
[03:05.27]And all the bells were ringin’
[03:07.63]The night they drove old Dixie down
[03:13.46]And all the people were singin’
[03:15.56]They went, “Na, na-na-na-na-na
[03:19.81]Na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na-na”
