The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down piano leadsheet with chords
Virgil Caine is the name, and I served on the Danville train,
'til Stoneman's Cavalry came and tore up the tracks again.
In the winter of sixtyfive,
we were hungry,
just barely alive.
By May the tenth,
Richmond had fell;
it's a time
I remember, oh, so well.
The night they drove old Dixie down,
and the bells were ringin', the night they drove old Dixie down.
And the people were singin'.
They went, la la la la la la,
la la la la la la la la.
