Lyrics for Song: Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
Lyrics for Album: Bring It on Home (RCA Victor) [1972]



(Jaime R. Robertson)



Virgin Cane is my name and I served on the Denville train

Till Stoneman's calvary came they tore up the tracks again

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

I took he train to Richmond that fell

It was the 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.



Back with my wife in Tennessee one day she said to me

Virgil quick come see there goes Robert E Lee

Now I don't mind the choppin' woods

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

To take what you need and leave the rest

But they sould 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.



Like my father before me I have worked the land

And like my brother above I took a rebel stand

But he was just eighteen proud and great

When a yankee laid him in his grave

I swear by the blood below my feet

You can't raise a Cane 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 singing

They went la la la la la la la la la la la la.



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...
