Virgil Caine is my name and
I drove on the Danville Train
‘Til 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 myself
It was a time I remember oh so well

The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringin’
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 na na

Back with my wife in Tennessee
When one day she said to me
“Virgil, quick come see
There goes the Robert E. Lee!”
Now I don’t mind choppin’ 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 all the bells were ringin’
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 na na

Like my father before me I’m a working man
And like my brother before me I took a rebel stand
He was just eighteen, proud and brave
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
I swear by the blood below my feet
You can’t raise a Caine back up when he’s in defeat

The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringin’
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 na na

The night they drove old Dixie down, when all the bells were ringin’
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 na na
