And I don't care if the money's no good
The night they drove Old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringing
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
You take what you can and leave the rest
They went na, na, na, na, na
In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive
Na, na, na, na, na
And all the people were singin'
The night they drove Old Dixie down
It was a time I remember oh so well
The night they drove Old Dixie down
The night they drove Old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringing
They went na, na, na, na, na
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
And all the bells were ringing
Like my father before me, I will work the land
The night they drove Old Dixie down
The night they drove Old Dixie down
They went na, na, na, na, na
Like my brother below me, I took the rebel stand
By May the tenth, Richmond had fell
And all the people were singin'
I swear by the mud beneath my feet
You can't raise a Cain back up when he's in defeat
But they should never have taken the very best
Virgil quick, come see, there goes Robert E. Lee
Na, na, na, na, na
And all the people were singin'
Na, na, na, na, na
The night they drove Old Dixie down
And all the people were singin'
And all the bells were ringing
Na, na, na, na, na
And I don't mind choppin' wood
The night they drove Old Dixie down
He was just eighteen, proud and brave
Back with my wife in Tennessee till one day she says to me
They went na, na, na, na, na
