Lyrics:

C Am C/g F F/e Dm
Virgil Caine Is The Name, And I Served On The Danville Train,

am C/g F F/e Dm
'til Stoneman's Cavalry Came And Tore Up The Tracks Again.

am/e F C Dm
In The Winter Of '65, We Were Hungry, Just Barely Alive.

am/e F C Dm D
By May The Tenth, Richmond Had Fell, It's A Time I Remember, Oh So Well,


(Chorus)

C/g Fmaj7 C/g Fmaj7
the Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, And All The Bells Were Ringing,

C/g Fmaj7 C/g Fmaj7
the Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, And All The People Were Singin'. They Went

c/g Am Gsus4 F C
na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na,


Am C F F/e Dm
Back With My Wife In Tennessee, When One Day She Called To Me,

Am C F F/e Dm
'virgil, Quick, Come See, There Goes The Robert E. Lee!'

Am/e F C Dm
Now I Don't Mind Choppin' Wood, 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)


Am C F F/e Dm
Like My Father Before Me, I'm A Workin' Man,

Am C F F/e Dm
Like My Brother Above Me, Who Took A Rebel Stand.

Am/e F C Dm
He Was Just Eighteen, Proud And Brave, 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)
