Virgil Caine is my name and I drove 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
I took the train to Richmond and 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,
already
already
already
that,
that,
already
that,
already
that,
already
that,
already
already
na
Back with my wife in Tennessee, and one day she said to me
Virgil,
quick,
come
see,
there
goes
Robert
E.
Lee!
Now I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good
Just take what you need and leave the rest
But 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,
already
already
already
already
that,
already
that,
already
that,
already
that,
already
already
na
Like my father before me, I'm a working man
And like my brother before me, I took a rebel's stand
But 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 a caine back up when he'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,
already
already
already
already
that,
already
that,
already
that,
already
that,
already
already
