The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down [*[00:00:00]
Vigil Caine is the name[00:00:40]
And I served on the Danville train[00:00:42]
Till Stoneman's cavalry came[00:00:47]
And tore up the tracks again[00:00:50]
In the winter of '65[00:00:54]
We were hungry just barely alive[00:00:57]
By May the tenth Richmond had fell[00:01:01]
It's a time I remember oh so well[00:01:04]
The night they drove old Dixie down[00:01:10]
And the bells were ringing[00:01:15]
The night they drove old Dixie down[00:01:18]
And the people were singin'[00:01:23]
They went la la la...[00:01:25]
Back with my wife in Tennessee[00:01:37]
When one day she called to me[00:01:41]
"Virgil quick come see [00:01:45]
There goes the Robert E Lee"[00:01:49]
Now I don't mind choppin' wood[00:01:52]
And I don't care if the money's no good[00:01:56]
You take what you need and you leave the rest[00:02:00]
But they should never have taken the very best[00:02:03]
The night they drove old Dixie down[00:02:10]
And the bells were ringing[00:02:15]
The night they drove old Dixie down[00:02:17]
And all the people were singin'[00:02:22]
They went la la la...[00:02:25]
Like my father before me[00:02:40]
I'm a working' man[00:02:43]
And like my brother above me[00:02:47]
Who took a rebel stand[00:02:51]
He was just eighteen proud and brave[00:02:54]
But a Yankee laid him in his grave[00:02:58]
I swear by the mud below my feet[00:03:02]
You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat[00:03:05]
The night they drove old Dixie down[00:03:12]
And the bells were ringing[00:03:17]
The night they drove old Dixe down[00:03:20]
And all the people were singin'[00:03:25]
They went la la la...[00:03:27]
The night they drove old Dixie down[00:03:42]
And all the bells were ringing[00:03:48]
The night they drove old Dixie down[00:03:50]
And the people were singin'[00:03:56]
They went la la la...[00:03:58]
