Zac Brown Band - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down Songtext


Virgil Caine is the name and I served on the Danville train

'Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again

In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive

By May the tenth, Richmond had fell

It was a time I remember, oh, so well



The night they drove old Dixie down

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



Back with my wife in Tennessee when one day she called to me

"Virgil, quick, come and see there goes Robert E. Lee"

Now I don't mind choppin' wood and I don't care if the money no good

You take what you need and you leave the rest

They should never have taken the very best






The night they drove old Dixie down

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



Like my father before me, I'm a workin' man

Like my brother before me, who took a rebel stand

He was just eighteen, proud and brave

When a Yankee laid him in his grave

I swear by the mud below my feet

You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat



The night they drove old Dixie down

All them 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



The night they drove old Dixie down

All them 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
