Virgil Cane is
my name
And I drove 0n
the Banville train

g
Till so much

cavalry came

And tore up
the hacks again

g
In the winter of
sixty Jive
We were hungry
Just barely alive

g
I took the train
to Richmond F.L.
It's a time I remember
011 so well
The night they

drove old Dixie down
And all the bells
were ringing
The night they drove
01d Dixie down
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na...
Back With my wife
in Tennessee

And one day she

said to me
Virgil, quick come see

There goes
Robert E Lee
Just 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
01d Dixie down
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na...
Like my father
before me
I'm a working man
And like my brother

before me
I took a rebel stand
But a yankee laid

him in his grave
You can't raise
the cane back up
When it's in the beet

g
The night they

drove old Dixie down
And all the bells
were ringing
The night they drove
01d Dixie down
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na...
