Karaoke The Night They Drove Ol' Dixie Down

Virgil Caine is my name and
I drove on the Danville Train
Till so much cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
In the winter of sixtee five we were hungry just barely alive
I took the train to Richmond that fell it was a time
I remember oh so well
The night they drove old dixie down and all the bells were ringing
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
Back with my wife in Tennessee and one day she said to me
Virgil, quick, come see and there goes the Robert E. Lee
Now I don't mind them choppin' wood and I don't care if the money's no good
Just take what ya need and leave the rest
They should never have taken the very best
The night they drove old dixie down and all the bells were ringing
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
Like my father before me
I'm a working man and like my brother before me
I took a rebel stand
Well 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 the Caine back up when it's in defeat
The night they drove old dixie down and all the bells were ringing
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
