Night They Drove Old Dixie Down letra

Virgin Cane is my name and I served on the Denville train
Till Stoneman's calvary came and tore up the tracks again
In the winter of '65 we were hungry just barely alive
I made 10th to Richmond that fell it was the 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 all the people were singing
They went la la la la la la la la la la

Back with my wife in Tennessee when one day she called to me
Virgil quick come see there goes Robert E Lee
I don't mind the choppin' woods and I don't care if the money's no good
Just take what you need and leave the rest
But they never sould have taken the very best

The night they drove old Dixie down...

Like my father before me I'm a working man
And like my brother before me I took a rebel stand
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 Cane back up when he's in defeat

The night they drove old Dixie down...
