Virgil Caine is my name
And I served on the Danville train
'Till 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
And it's a time that I remember, oh, so well
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singin, they went
Na, na na na na na na na
Na na, na na, na na, na na na
Back with my wife in Tennessee
When one day she said to me
Virgil, quick, come see, Virgil
There goes Robert E. Lee
Now, I dont mind choppin' wood
And I don't care if the money's no good
Just take what you need and you leave the rest
But they never should have taken the very best
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singin, they went
Na, na na na na na na na
Na na, na na, na na, na na na
Like my father before me
I will work the land
Like my brother above me
He took a rebel stand
He was just eighteen, proud and brave
And a yankee laid him in his grave
I swear by the mud 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 ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing, they went
Na, na na na na na na na
Na na, na na, na na, na na na
And I served on the Danville train
'Till 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
And it's a time that I remember, oh, so well
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singin, they went
Na, na na na na na na na
Na na, na na, na na, na na na
Back with my wife in Tennessee
When one day she said to me
Virgil, quick, come see, Virgil
There goes Robert E. Lee
Now, I dont mind choppin' wood
And I don't care if the money's no good
Just take what you need and you leave the rest
But they never should have taken the very best
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singin, they went
Na, na na na na na na na
Na na, na na, na na, na na na
Like my father before me
I will work the land
Like my brother above me
He took a rebel stand
He was just eighteen, proud and brave
And a yankee laid him in his grave
I swear by the mud 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 ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing, they went
Na, na na na na na na na
Na na, na na, na na, na na na
