1
Virgil Caine is my name, and I worked on the Danville train
2
Till Sherman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
3
In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive
4
By May the tenth, Richmond had fell
5
It was a time I remember oh so well
6
The night they drove Old Dixie down
7
And all the bells were ringing
8
The night they drove Old Dixie down
9
And all the people were singin'
10
They went na, na, na, na, na
11
Na, na, na, na, na
12
Na, na, na, na, na
13
Back with my wife in Tennessee till one day she says to me
14
Virgil quick, come see, there goes Robert E. Lee
15
And I don't mind choppin' wood
16
And I don't care if the money's no good
17
You take what you can and leave the rest
18
But they should never have taken the very best
19
The night they drove Old Dixie down
20
And all the bells were ringing
21
The night they drove Old Dixie down
22
And all the people were singin'
23
They went na, na, na, na, na
24
Na, na, na, na, na
25
Na, na, na, na, na
26
Like my father before me, I will work the land
27
Like my brother below me, I took the rebel stand
28
He was just eighteen, proud and brave
29
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
30
I swear by the mud beneath my feet
31
You can't raise a Cain back up when he's in defeat
32
The night they drove Old Dixie down
33
And all the bells were ringing
34
The night they drove Old Dixie down
35
And all the people were singin'
36
They went na, na, na, na, na
37
Na, na, na, na, na
38
Na, na, na, na, na
39
The night they drove Old Dixie down
40
And all the bells were ringing
41
The night they drove Old Dixie down
42
And all the people were singin'
43
They went na, na, na, na, na
44
Na, na, na, na, na
45
Na, na, na, na, na
