Lyrics
By j.r.robertson © 1970 canaan music, inc
Virgil caine is the name, and I served on the danville train 'Til stonewall's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive By may the tenth, richmond had fell, it's a time I remember, oh so well
(Chorus)
The night they drove old dixie down, and the bells were ringing The night they drove old dixie down, and the people were singin'. they went La, la, 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 "Virgil, quick, come see, there goes robert e. lee!" Now I don't mind'em choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest But they should never have taken the very best
(Chorus)
Like my father before me, I'm a workin' man Like my brother above me, I took a rebel stand He was just eighteen, proud and brave, but a yankee laid him in his grave I swear by the mud below my feet You can't raise a caine back up when he's in defeat
(Chorus and fade)
