Letra da Música: Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - Skeeter Davis

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...

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...
The night they drove old Dixie down...
