[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

Back with my wife in Tennessee

When one day she called to me

"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]
