Virgil Caine is my name, and I drove on the Danville train
C                    Am                  F                              Am
‘Til Stoneman’s cavalry came, and tore up the tracks again.
F                       C           Am              F
In the winter of ’65, we were hungry, just barely alive.
Am                        F                         C               Am                 D    D
I took the train to Richmond, it fell, it was a time I remember, oh so well,

 

.        C              F              C                 Am
The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the bells were ringing,
.       C             F               C                      Am
The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the people were singin’. They went
C                   Am    D            F
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La

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

Like my father before me, I’m a workin’ man
C                       Am            F                    Am
Like my brother before me, I took a rebel stand.
.           F                   Am                           C                  Am
He was just eighteen, proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in his grave
.     F                         Am
I swear by the blood below my feet,
.              C                     Am                        D     D
you can’t raise the cane back up when it’s in the seed.

The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the bells were ringing,
.       C             F               C                      Am
The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the people were singin’. They went
C                   Am    D            F
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
