no he was never in Tennessee during the war
the band in the song the night they drove old dixie down is referring to the steamship named Robert E Lee the line is "there goes the Robert E Lee"
This last is not correct. The official lyrics of the song do not include 'the' after 'goes'. Also, the steamboat 'Robert E. Lee' was not built until 1866, so the singer couldn't be referring to that in the 'winter of '65'. However, it is true that the person, Robert E. Lee, was never in Tennessee during the Civil War.
