The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down (corrected) Lyrics - Singles - Band

Virgil Kane is the name 

And I served on the Danville train 

'Till Stoneman's cavalry came 

And tore up the tracks again 

 

In the winter of '65 

We were hungry, just barely alive 

By May the 10th, Richmond had fell 

It's a time I remember, oh so well 

 

The night they drove old Dixie down 

And the bells were ringing 

The night they drove old Dixie down 

And the people were singing 

They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, la"

Back with my wife in Tennessee 

When one day she called to me 

"Virgil, quick, come see, 

There goes Robert E. Lee!" 

 

Now, I don't mind chopping wood 

And I don't care if the money's no good 

You take what you need 

And you leave the rest 

But they should never 

Have taken the very best 

 

The night they drove old Dixie down 

And the bells were ringing 

The night they drove old Dixie down 

And all the people were singing 

They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, la"

Like my father before me 

I will work the land 

And like my brother above me 

Who took a rebel stand 

 

He was just 18, proud and brave 

But a Yankee laid him in his grave 

I swear by the mud below my feet 

You can't raise a Kane back up 

When he's in defeat 

 

The night they drove old Dixie down 

And the bells were ringing 

The night they drove old Dixie down 

And all the people were singing 

They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, la" 

 

The night they drove old Dixie down 

And all the bells were ringing 

The night they drove old Dixie down 

And the people were singing 

They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, la"
