Virgil Caine is the name and I served on the Danville train'Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks againIn the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely aliveBy May the tenth, Richmond had fellIt's a time I remember, oh so wellThe night they drove old Dixie downAnd the bells were ringingThe night they drove old Dixie downAnd the people were singingThey went, "La, la, la"Back with my wife in Tennessee, when one day she called to me"Virgil, quick, come see, there go the Robert E.Lee"Now I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no goodYa take what ya need and ya leave the restBut they should never have taken the very bestThe night they drove old Dixie downAnd the bells were ringingThe night they drove old Dixie downAnd all the people were singingThey went, "La, la, la"Like my father before me, I will work the landAnd like my brother above me, who took a rebel standLetras de cancionesHe was just eighteen, proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in his graveI swear by the mud below my feetYou can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeatThe night they drove old Dixie downAnd the bells were ringingThe night they drove old Dixie downAnd all the people were singingThey went, "Na, na, na"The night they drove old Dixie downAnd all the bells were ringingThe night they drove old Dixie downAnd the people were singingThey went, "Na, na, na" From Letras Mania
