The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down    (SNW 2006)   Ralf Bender

OPENER



Circle left
Virgil Caine is my name
And I served on the Danville train

Left allemande, turn the partner right
Allemande left and weave the ring
In the winter of '65
We were hungry, just barely alive
It was a time I remember, oh so well

FIGURE



Heads square thru, shake it go four
Find your corner, dosado
Swing thru and the boys run right
Bend the line, right & left thru
Pass the ocean, recycle go round
Swing that corner and you promenade
But they should never
Have taken the very best

MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER



Sides face grand square
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
The night they drove old Dixie down

Allemande left and weave the ring
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
They went Na, Na-na, Na-na, Na
Na-na, Na, Na, Na-na, Na

TAG



Heads face grand square
(music)
Na Na-na, Na, Na-na, Na-na, Na, Na, Na-a
