[00:03.35]Virgil caine is the name and
[00:05.73]I served on the Danville train
[00:08.08]
[00:10.76]'Til stoneman's cavalry came
[00:12.64]
[00:13.28]And tore up the tracks again
[00:15.37]
[00:17.89]In the winner of '65
[00:19.74]
[00:20.55]We were hungry just barely alive
[00:23.72]
[00:24.75]By may the tenth
[00:25.56]
[00:26.23]Richmond had fell it's a time
[00:28.56]
[00:29.54]I remember oh so well
[00:32.17]
[00:33.88]The night they drove old dixie down
[00:37.93]
[00:39.06]And the bells were ringing
[00:41.01]The night they drove old dixie down
[00:45.30]
[00:46.49]And the people were singing they went
[00:48.94]
[00:49.51]La la la la la la la
[00:52.12]
[00:52.79]La la la la la la la la la
[00:55.92]
[01:00.84]Back with my wife in tennessee
[01:03.28]
[01:04.20]When one day she called to me
[01:06.24]
[01:08.90]Virgil quick come see there goes Robert and Lee
[01:13.71]
[01:15.18]Now I don't mind chopping wood
[01:18.01]
[01:18.88]And I don't care if the money's no good
[01:22.01]
[01:22.86]You take what you need and you leave the rest
[01:25.93]But they should never have taken the very best
[01:31.37]
[01:32.53]The night they drove old dixie down
[01:36.68]
[01:37.55]And the bells were ringing
[01:39.78]The night they drove old dixie down
[01:44.25]
[01:45.22]And all the people were singing they went
[01:48.04]La la la la la la la
[01:50.93]
[01:51.54]La la la la la la la la la
[01:54.58]
[02:02.47]Like my father before me
[02:04.77]
[02:05.84]I will work the land
[02:07.67]
[02:09.99]And like my brother above me
[02:12.70]
[02:13.66]Who took a rebel stand
[02:15.44]
[02:16.68]He was just eighteen proud and brave
[02:19.98]
[02:20.70]But a yankee laid him in his grave
[02:23.82]
[02:24.45]I swear by the mud below my feet
[02:27.24]
[02:28.00]You can't raise a caine back up when he's in defeat
[02:33.73]
[02:34.46]The night they drove old dixie down
[02:38.47]
[02:39.44]And the bells were ringing
[02:41.66]The night they drove old dixie down
[02:46.01]
