The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down by Sophie B. Hawkins


Virgil cain is my name

And i served on the danville train

Till 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 had 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 singing

They went "la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la"

 

Back with my wife in tennessee

One day she came to me

"virgil look come see

There goes robert e. lee"

Well i don't mind chopping wood

And i don't care if the money's no good

But you take what you need and leave the rest

And 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 singing

They went "la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la"

 

Like my father before me

I am a working man

And like my brother above me

I took a rebel stand

 

He was just eighteen proud and brave

But a yankee laid him in his grave

I swear by the blood beneath my feet

You can't raise the cane 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 singing

...
