[Verse 1]
C
Am C/G F Am/E
Virgil Caine is the name and I served on the Danville
Dm
train
Am C/G F Am/E Dm
'Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
Am/E F C
In the winter of sixty five, we were hungry,
Dm
just barely alive
Am/E F
By May the tenth, Richmond had fell
C Dm D
It's a time I remember, oh so well
[Chorus]
C/G Fmaj7 C/G
The night they drove old Dixie down
Fmaj7
And the bells were ringing

"La, la, la, la, la, la la, la, la"

Am C/G
Back with my wife in Tennessee

When one day she called to me
Am C/G F Am/E
"Virgil, quick, come see, there goes Robert E.
Dm
Lee"
Am/E F
Now I don't mind choppin' wood
C Dm
And I don't care if the money's no good
Am/E F
Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest
C Dm D
But they should never have taken the very best
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Am C/G
Like my father before me,
F Am/E
I will work the land
Dm Am C/G
And like my brother above me,
F Am/E Dm
who took a rebel stand
Am/E F
He was just eighteen, proud and brave
C Dm
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
Am/E F
I swear by the mud below my feet
C Dm D
You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat
[Chorus]
