[Vision2020] Sing Along

[Tom Hansen]

Come on, Commissioner Kimmell, sing along with me . . .  Hey, Doug Wilson,
you know the words . . . 

 

Sing id LOUD and sing it proud.   

 

   Virgil Caine is my name and I drove on the Danville train

   'til so much cavalry came and tore up the tracks again

   In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive

   I took the train to Richmond that fell

   It was a time I remember, oh, so well

 

   The night they drove old Dixie down

   And all the bells were ringin'

   The night they drove old Dixie down

   And all the people were singin' 

   They went, "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." 

   Now I don't mind, I'm chopping wood

   And I don't care if the money's no good

   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 ringin'

   The night they drove old Dixie down

   And all the people were singin' 

   They went, "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

   Oh, he was just 18, proud and brave

   But 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

   And all the bells were ringin'

   The night they drove old Dixie down

   And all the people were singin' 

   They went, "Na, na, na, na, na, na, ..... "
