Am C F Dm
Virgil Caine is the name, and I served on the Danville train,
Am C F Dm
'Til Stonewall's Calvery came and tore up the tracks again.
Am F C Dm
In the winter of '65, We were hungry, just barely alive.
Am F C Dm D
By May the tenth, Richmond had fell, it's a time I remember, oh so well,
[Chorus:]
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and the bells were ringing,
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and the people were singin'. They went

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

Am C F Dm
Like my father before me, I will work the land,
Am C F Dm
Like my brother abo--ve me, who took a rebel stand.
Am F C Dm
He was just eighteen, proud and brave, But a Yankee laid him in his grave,
Am 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:]
C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
