Virgil Kane is the name |
| [00:05.517] |
And I served on the Danville train |
| [00:10.306] |
‘Till Stoneman’s cavalry came |
| [00:13.216] |
And tore up the tracks again |
| [00:16.169] |
|
| [00:17.494] |
In the winter of ’65 |
| [00:20.161] |
We were hungry, just barely alive |
| [00:24.658] |
By May the 10th, Richmond had fell |
| [00:27.333] |
It’s a time I remember, oh so well |
| [00:31.850] |
|
| [00:33.732] |
The night they drove old Dixie down |
| [00:38.794] |
And the bells were ringing |
| [00:41.729] |
The night they drove old Dixie down |
| [00:46.518] |
And the people were singing |
| [00:48.642] |
They went, “Na, na, la, na, na, la” |
| [00:55.810] |
|
| [01:00.583] |
Back with my wife in Tennessee |
| [01:03.259] |
When one day she called to me |
| [01:09.096] |
“Virgil, quick, come see, |
| [01:11.757] |
There goes Robert E. Lee!” |
| [01:14.403] |
|
| [01:18.085] |
Now, I don’t mind chopping wood |
| [01:18.611] |
And I don’t care if the money’s no good |
| [01:22.071] |
You take what you need |
| [01:24.202] |
And you leave the rest |
| [01:26.068] |
But they should never |
| [01:27.925] |
Have taken the very best |
| [01:31.905] |
|
| [01:32.702] |
The night they drove old Dixie down |
| [01:37.475] |
And the bells were ringing |
| [01:40.124] |
The night they drove old Dixie down |
| [01:45.734] |
And all the people were singing |
| [01:47.861] |
They went, “Na, na, la, na, na, la” |
| [01:50.776] |
|
| [02:02.751] |
Like my father before me |
| [02:05.683] |
I will work the land |
| [02:10.186] |
And like my brother above me |
| [02:13.379] |
Who took a rebel stand |
| [02:16.575] |
|
| [02:17.111] |
He was just 18, proud and brave |
| [02:20.290] |
But a Yankee laid him in his grave |
| [02:24.533] |
I swear by the mud below my feet |
| [02:28.001] |
You can’t raise a Kane back up |
| [02:31.193] |
When he’s in defeat |
| [02:33.846] |
|
| [02:34.126] |
The night they drove old Dixie down |
| [02:39.716] |
And the bells were ringing |
| [02:42.102] |
The night they drove old Dixie down |
| [02:47.151] |
And all the people were singing |
| [02:49.544] |
They went, “Na, na, la, na, na, la” |
| [02:56.717] |
|
| [03:04.674] |
The night they drove old Dixie down |
| [03:10.253] |
And all the bells were ringing |
| [03:12.680] |
The night they drove old Dixie down |
| [03:17.720] |
And the people were singing |
| [03:20.393] |
They went, “Na, na, la, na, na, la” |
