?[00:40.01]Virgil Caine is the name and I served on the Danville train
[00:47.10]Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
[00:54.11]In the winter of sixty five we were hungry just barely alive
[01:01.26]By May the tenth Richmond had fell it's a time I remember oh so well
[01:10.33]The night they drove old Dixie down and the bells were ringing
[01:17.62]The night they drove old Dixie down and the people were singing
[01:24.85]They went la la la la la la
[01:29.35]La la la la la la la la
[01:37.01]Back with my wife in Tennessee when one day she called to me
[01:45.44]Virgil quick come see there goes Robert E Lee
[01:51.88]Now I don't mind chopping wood
[01:55.25]And I don't care if the money's no good
[01:59.18]You take what you need and you leave the rest
[02:02.52]But they should never have taken the very best
[02:09.35]The night they drove old Dixie down and the bells were ringing
[02:16.84]The night they drove old Dixie down and the people were singing
[02:24.17]They went la la la la la la
[02:28.63]La la la la la la la la
[02:31.53]
[02:40.00]Like my father before me I will work the land
[02:47.48]Like my brother above me who took a rebel stand
[02:54.17]He was just eighteen proud and brave
[02:58.06]But a yankee laid him in his grave
[03:02.14]I swear by the mud below my feet
[03:05.42]You can't raise a caine back up when he's in defeat
[03:11.85]The night they drove old Dixie down and the bells were ringing
[03:19.49]The night they drove old Dixie down and the people were singing
[03:26.78]They went la la la la la la
[03:31.00]La la la la la la la la
[03:34.53]
[03:42.47]The night they drove old Dixie down and the bells were ringing
[03:50.40]The night they drove old Dixie down and the people were singing
[03:57.72]They went la la la la la la
[04:01.99]La la la la la la la la
[04:05.78]
