Virgil Caine is the name
F Am
And I served on the Danville train
C Am
Till Stoneman's cavalry came
F Am
And tore up the tracks again
F C
In the winter of sixty five
Am F
We were hungry just barely alive
Am F
By May the tenth Richmond had fell
C D G G7
It's a time I remember oh so well
C F C
The night they drove old Dixie down
Am
And the bells were ringing
C F C
The night they drove old Dixie down
Am
And the people were singing
C Am D
They went Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
F
Na Na Na Na Na Na
Am C
Back with my wife in Tennessee
F Am
When one day she called to me
C Am
Virgil quick come see
F Am
There goes Robert E Lee
F C
Now I don't mind chopping wood
Am F
And I don't care if the money's no good
Am F
You take what you need and you leave the rest
C D G G7
But they should never have taken the very best
C F C
The night they drove old Dixie down
Am
And the bells were ringing
C F C
The night they drove old Dixie down
Am
And the people were singing
C Am D
They went Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
F
Na Na Na Na Na Na
Am C
Like my father before me
F Am
I will work the land
C Am
And like my brother above me
F Am
Who took a rebel stand
F C
He was just eighteen proud and brave
Am F
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
Am F
I swear by the mud below my feet
C D
You can't raise a Caine back up
G G7
When he's in defeat
C F C
The night they drove old Dixie down
Am
And the bells were ringing
C F C
The night they drove old Dixie down
Am
And the people were singing
C Am D
They went Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
F
Na Na Na Na Na Na
