[00:02.474]Virgil Caine is the name and I served on the Danville train
[00:10.044]Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
[00:17.313]In the winter of sixty five we were hungry just barely alive
[00:24.623]By May the tenth Richmond had fell it's a time I remember oh so well
[00:33.964]The night they drove old Dixie down
[00:38.483]And the bells were ringing
[00:41.149]The night they drove old Dixie down
[00:46.387]And the people were singing
[00:48.620]They went la la la la la la
[01:00.606]Back with my wife in Tennessee when one day she called to me
[01:08.116]Virgil quick come see there goes Robert E Lee
[01:15.172]Now I don't mind chopping wood
[01:18.178]And I don't care if the money's no good
[01:22.263]You take what you need and you leave the rest
[01:25.773]But they should never have taken the very best
[01:31.943]The night they drove old Dixie down
[01:37.302]And the bells were ringing
[01:39.927]The night they drove old Dixie down
[01:45.200]And the people were singing
[01:47.523]They went la la la la la la
[02:02.292]Like my father before me I will work the land
[02:09.624]Like my brother above me who took a rebel stand
[02:16.678]He was just eighteen proud and brave
[02:20.262]But a yankee laid him in his grave
[02:24.486]I swear by the mud below my feet
[02:27.908]You can't raise a caine back up when he's in defeat
[02:33.907]The night they drove old Dixie down
[02:39.402]And the bells were ringing
[02:41.966]The night they drove old Dixie down
[02:47.081]And the people were singing
[02:49.364]They went la la la la la la（×2）
