The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down Lyrics

(Jaime Robbie Robertson)
© '70 Canaan Music, ASCAP / WB Music, ASCAP

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 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 with na na na na na
[ piano ]
Back with my wife in Tennessee one day she said to me
Virgil quick come see Virgil there goes Robert E Lee
Now I don't mind the choppin' woods
And I don't care if the money's no good
Just take what you need and leave the rest
But they never sould have taken the very best

The night they drove old Dixie...
[ piano ]
Like my father before me I have worked for land
And like my brother above he took the rebel stand
He was just eighteen proud and great and a yankee laid him in his grave
I swear by the mud below my feet
You can't raise a Cane back up when he's in defeat

The night they drove old Dixie...
