The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
Big Country

Virgil Caine is my name, and I worked on the Danville train

Till Sherman'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

And 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, na

Back with my wife in Tennessee till one day she says to me

Virgil quick, come see, there goes Robert E. Lee

And I don't mind choppin' wood

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

You take what you can 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 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, na

Like my father before me, I will work the land

Like my brother below me, I took the rebel stand

He was just eighteen, proud and brave

But a Yankee laid him in his grave

I swear by the mud beneath my feet

You can't raise a Cain back up when he'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 singin'

They went na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na

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 singin'

They went na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na
