Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
Lyricist:Robbie Robertson
Virgil Caine is my 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 I took the train to Richmond and fell, it was a time 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'
Back with my wife in Tennessee, and one day she said to me 'Virgil, quick, come see, there goes Robert E. Lee!' Now I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good Just take what you need and leave the rest But they should never have taken the very best
The night they drove old Dixie down Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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'
Like my father before me, I'm a working man And like my brother before me, I took a rebel's stand But he was just eighteen, 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 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'
