James Early has revised "The Night They drove Old Dixie Down" (trying to make it seem less supportive of the Confederacy).

A friend has asked me for the words/if I might know someone who would know what the new words are. The last verse is available in a Rolling Stone article, but the rest of the words are not easily found via google.

I've found video of James Early performing the song, and got most of the lyrics from that, but there are a few words I cannot make out, even after listening repeatedly. If anyone else can figure them out, I'd be very grateful (or if anyone knows a source for the new words).

Here's what I've got so far:

Virgil Caine is the name and I served on the Danville train
Till Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
In the winter of 65, they were hungry,
Just barely alive
I ??? the town, ??? when it fell
It's time to remember, time to bid farewell

Tonight we drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringin'
Tonight we drove old Dixie down
And the people were singin'
They went, "Na, na, la, na, na, la..."

Back with my wife in Tennessee, when one day she called to me,
"Virgil, come quick, come see, there goes Robert E. Lee!"
Now, I don't mind chopping wood,
And I don't care if the money's no good,
You take what you need and leave the rest,
But ???, ??? stood the test of time

Chorus

Unlike my father before me, who I will never understand
Unlike the others below me, who took a rebel stand
Depraved and powered to enslave
I think it’s time we laid hate in its grave
I swear by the mud below my feet
That monument won’t stand, no matter how much concrete

Chorus

Thanks for any assistance...
