   The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down   
   Song by The Band   
      
   Virgil Kane is the name   
   And I served on the Danville train   
   'Till Stoneman's cavalry came   
   And tore up the tracks again   
   In the winter of '65   
   We were hungry, just barely alive   
   By May the 10th, Richmond had fell   
   It's a time I remember, oh so well   
   The night they drove old Dixie down   
   And the bells were ringing   
   The night they drove old Dixie down   
   And the people were singing   
   They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, la"   
   Back with my wife in Tennessee   
   When one day she called to me   
   "Virgil, quick, come see,   
   There goes Robert E. Lee!"   
   Now, I don't mind chopping 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 the bells were ringing   
   The night they drove old Dixie down   
   And all the people were singing   
   They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, la"   
   Like my father before me   
   I will work the land   
   And like my brother above me   
   Who took a rebel stand   
   He was just 18, proud and brave   
   But a Yankee laid him in his grave   
   I swear by the mud below my feet   
   You can't raise a Kane back up   
   When he's in defeat   
   The night they drove old Dixie down   
   And the bells were ringing   
   The night they drove old Dixie down   
   And all the people were singing   
   They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, la"   
   The night they drove old Dixie down   
   And all the bells were ringing   
   The night they drove old Dixie down   
   And the people were singing   
   They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, la
