The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - Tanya Tucker
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 ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
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 ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
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 ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
They went"Na na na na na na"
