Virgil Kane is the name And I served on the Danville train Till Stonemans cavalry came And tore up the tracks again In the winter of 65 We were hungry, just barely alive By May the 10th, Richmond had fell Its 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, la, na, na, 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 dont mind chopping wood And I dont care if the moneys 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, la, na, na, 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 18, proud and brave But a Yankee laid him in his grave I swear by the mud below my feet You cant raise a Kane back up When hes 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, la, na, na, 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, la, na, na, la https://youtube/watch?v=nnS9M03F-fA
