Virgil Cane is
My name and I
Drove on the
Danville train
The Stonewall's
Calvary came and
Tore up the tracks
Again
In the Winter
Of '65
We were hungry
Just barely alive
I took the train to
Richmond
It 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 singing
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
Cause there
Goes the
Robert E Lee''
I don't mind
Chopping wood
And I don't care
If the money's
No good
Just take
What you need
And leave the rest
But they should've
Never have taken
The very best
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
Singing
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 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 it'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
Singing
They went
Na
Na na na
Na na
Na na na na
Na na
Na na na
