Virgil Caine is the name
And I drove on the Danville train
Til Stoneman's cavalry came
And tore up the tracks again

In the winter of '65
We were hungry, just barely alive
By May the 10th, Richmond had fell
It's a time I remember, oh, so well

The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the people were singing
They went, na na na na.....

Back with my wife in Tenessee
When one day she called to me
Virgil, quick come see
There goes Robert E. Lee

Now I don't mind chopping wood
And I don't care if
The money's no good

You take what you need
And you leave the rest
But they should never
Have taken the very best

The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
They went, na na na na.....

Like my father before me
I will work the land
And like my brother before me
Who took a rebel stand

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 the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
They went, na na na na.....

The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the people were singing
They went, na na na na.....
