Zac Brown Band - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down lyrics

Virgil Caine is the name and I served 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 tenth, Richmond had fell It was a time I remember, oh, so well The night they drove old Dixie down 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 Back with my wife in Tennessee when one day she called to me "Virgil, quick, come and see there goes Robert E. Lee" Now I don't mind choppin' wood and I don't care if the money no good You take what you need and you leave the rest They should never have taken the very best The night they drove old Dixie down 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 Like my father before me, I'm a workin' man Like my brother before me, who took a rebel stand He was just eighteen, proud and brave When a Yankee laid him in his grave I swear by the mud below my feet You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat The night they drove old Dixie down All them 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 The night they drove old Dixie down All them 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
