And I seCrved on the Danville tAmrain

And toCre up the tracks agAmain

We were huGngry, just barAmely alive
By EmMay the 10th, RiCchmond had fell
IGt's a time I remeEmmber, oh so wAell
The niGght they droCve old Dixie doGwn
And the bEmells were ringing
The nigGht they dCrove old Dixie doGwn
And the peEmople were singing
They went, &Gquot;Na Na NEma Na Na NaA Na Na Na Na NCa Na Na Na Na Na
