The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - Gettysburg

I own nothing. The song and the movie belong to their respectful owners.

Lyrics:

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
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 Tenesse
And one day she said to me,
"Virgil, Quick! Come see!
There goes the Robert E. Lee."
Now I don't mind, I'm chopping wood
And I don't care if the money's no good
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 it'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,"

"Three hundred thousand Yankees

Is stiff in Southern dust;

We got three hundred thousand

Before they conquered us!"

@bobcanbeatyou more like socialists vs constitutional republicans. their are many democrats who arent socialists and would fight with republicans. and many "republicans" who are infact socialists. we need to sort this out and draw the battle lines. i assume they would have the coasts we would have the center. hoowie we already have divide and conquor in the bag
