Buck Owens

The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

(Jaime R. Robertson)

Virgil Cane is my name and I served on the Denville train
Till Stoneman's calvary came and tore up the tracks again
In the winter of '65 we were hungry, just barely alive
I made 10th to Richmond that fell
It was the time that 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.

--- Instrumental ---

Back with my wife in Tennessee
Well. one day she called to me
Virgil quick come see that
There goes 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 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 singing.
They went la la la la la.

--- Instrumental ---

Like my father before me
I'm a working man
And like my brother that'll love me
He took the rebel stand.

But he was just eighteen, proud and brave
And a yankee laid him in his grave.

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...

Mirror lyrics:

They went la la la la la...
And all the people were singing.
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down

And a yankee laid him in his grave.
But he was just eighteen, proud and brave

He took the rebel stand.
And like my brother that'll love me
I'm a working man
Like my father before me

--- Instrumental ---

They went la la la la la.
And all the people were singing.
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down

But they should never have taken the very best.
You take what you need and leave the rest
And I don't care if the money's no good
Now, I don't mind choppin' wood

There goes Robert E. Lee.
Virgil quick come see that
Well. one day she called to me
Back with my wife in Tennessee

--- Instrumental ---

They went la la la la la.
And all the people were singing.
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down

It was the time that I remember, oh so well.
I made 10th to Richmond that fell
In the winter of '65 we were hungry, just barely alive
Till Stoneman's calvary came and tore up the tracks again
Virgil Cane is my name and I served on the Denville train
