	Virgil	Caine is the name and I	served on the Danville	train

	D	Bm	G	Bm
	Till Stoneman's	cavalry came and	tore up the tracks	again

	G	D	Bm	G
	In the winter of	sixty five, we were	hungry, just	barely alive

	Bm	G
	By May the tenth	Richmond had fell

	D	Bm	E	E
It was a	time I	remember, oh so	well

	D	Bm	G	D
The	night they	drove old	Dixie down

	Bm
And all the	bells were ringing

	D	Bm	G	D
The	night they	drove old	Dixie down

	Bm
And all the	people were singing

	D	Bm	E	G	G
They went "	Naa, na-na	naa na-na,	na-naa, na-naa, naa	naa na na naa"

	Back with my wife in	Tennessee, and	one day she called to	me

	D	Bm	G	Bm
	Virgil,	quick come see,	there goes the Robert E	Lee

	G	D	Bm	G
	Now I don't mind	chopping wood, and I	don't care if the	money's no good

	Bm	G
	You just take what you need and you	leave the rest

	D	Bm	E	E
But they should	never have	taken the very	best

	Like my father	before me,	I will work the	land

	D	Bm	G	Em
	Just like my brother	above me,	who took a rebel	stand

	G	D	Bm	G
	He was just eighteen,	proud and brave, but a	Yankee laid him	in his grave

	Bm	G
	I swear by the mud	below my feet

	D	Bm	E	E
You can't	raise a Caine back	up when he's in	defeat
