歌词
Virgil Caine is my name and I served on the Danville train,
我叫Virgil Caine，在Danville的火车线上服役
Till so much cavalry came and they tore up the tracks again
乔治·斯通曼（北方联邦将领）的骑兵来临，他们再一次破坏了铁路设施
In the winter of sixty-five, we were hungry, just barely alive

By May the tenth, Richmond had fell - it's a time I remember oh so well
5月10日，里士满（南方邦联首都）最终陷落（邦联最终投降，南北战争正式结束），我直到现在都对此记忆犹新
The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the bells were ringing
那晚他们驶入了老南方，铃声开始作响
The night they drove old Dixie down, and the people were singing
那晚他们驶入了老南方，人们齐声歌唱
They went "La, la, la-la, la, La, la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la"
他们唱着“啦啦啦啦啦啦，啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦”
Back with my wife in Tennesee, when one day she called to me

Now I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good.
就算砍柴我也不介意，钱都没用了我也不在意
Take what you need and leave the rest,
你拿走需要的，留下其它的
But they should never have taken the very best."
但他们本不应该把最好的拿走的
(Chorus)
（合唱）
Like my father before me, I'm a working man
要是像父亲一样，我便会去种田
Like my brother before me, I took a rebel stand
要是像兄长一样，我会参与反抗
He was just eighteen, proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in his grave
他只有18岁，那么年轻，那么勇敢，但该死的北方佬让他长眠地下
I swear by the blood below my feet
我如此信赖脚下的土地
You can't raise the cane back up when it's in the feed
但就连这土地，也再也不能带回我的哥哥了
(Chorus)
（合唱）
