The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down (Alternate Mix)
Vigil Caine 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 '65 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 singin' They went, la la la
Back with my wife in Tennessee When one day she called to me 'Virgil, quick, come see, There goes the Robert E. Lee'
Now I don't mind choppin' 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The night they drove old Dixie down And all the people were singin' They went, la la la
Like my father before me I'm a working' man 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 Caine back up when he's in defeat
The night they drove old Dixie down And the bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixe down And all the people were singin' They went, 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 singin' They went, la la la
