Tanya Tucker - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
Virgil Caine is my name and I drove on the Danville train
  • Until so much cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
  • In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive
  • I took the train to Richmond that fell
  • It was a time I remember, oh, so well
  • The night they drove old Dixie down
  • And all the bells were ringin'
  • The night they drove old Dixie down
  • And all the people were singin'
  • They went, "Na, na, na, na, na, na"
  • Back with my wife in Tennessee
  • And one day she said to me
  • "Virgil, quick, come see
  • There goes Robert E. Lee"
  • Now I don't mind, I'm 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 never have taken the very best
  • The night they drove old Dixie down
  • And all the bells were ringin'
  • The night they drove old Dixie down
  • And all the people were singin'
  • They went, "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
  • Oh, he was just 18, 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
  • And all the bells were ringin'
  • The night they drove old Dixie down
  • And all the people were singin'
  • They went, "Na, na, na, na, na, na"
