Virgil Caine is the name, and I served on the Danville train,
LAm DO/SOL FA FA/MI REm'Til Stoneman's Calvery came and tore up the tracks again.
LAm/MI FA DO REmIn the winter of '65, We were hungry, just barely alive.
By May the tenth, Richmond had fell, it's a time I remember, oh so well,
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and the bells were ringing,
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and the people were singin'. They went
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La,
Back with my wife in Tennessee, When one day she called to me,
LAm DO FA FA/MI REm"Virgil, quick, come see, there goes Robert E. Lee!"
LAm/MI FA DO REmNow I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good.
Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest,
DO REm REBut they never should have taken the very best. (Chorus)
LAm DO FA FA/MI REm
Like my father before me, I will work the land,
LAm DO FA FA/MI REmLike my brother above me, who took a rebel stand.
He was just eighteen, proud and brave, But a Yankee laid him in his grave,
LAm/MI FAI swear by the mud below my feet,
DO REm REYou can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat. (Chorus and fade)
