Intro

Am C F F/E Dm

Virgil Caine is my name and I served on the Danville train

Am C F F/E Dm

Till Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again

Am F C F

In the winter of '65 we were hungry, just barely alive

Am F

By May the tenth, Richmond, had fell,

C F D

It was a time I remember, oh so well

C F C

The night they drove ole Dixie down,

F

And all the bells were ringing

C F C

The night they drove ole Dixie down,

F

And all the people were singing, they went

C Am

Na, na na na na na,

D

Na na na na na,

F

Na na na na na,

Verse Ending

Back with my wife in Tennessee one day she called to me

Virgil quick come see there goes the "Robert E. Lee"

I don't mind chopping wood, I don't care if the money's no good

Take what you need and leave the rest

But they should never have taken the very best

Like my father before me, I'm a peaceful man

Like my brother before me, I took a rebel stand

Just 18, proud and brave, when a Yankee laid him in his grave

I swear by the blood running below my feet

You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat
