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 before 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)
