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 sixty-five we were hungry just barely alive
By May the tenth
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 na na na na la la la la la la la la 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 na na na na la la la la la la la la 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 eighteen 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 na na na na la la la la la la la la 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 na na na na la la la la la la la la la
