AmVirgil C/GCaine is the name and I Fserved on the Danville Dmtrain
AmTill Stoneman's C/Gcavalry came and Ftore up the tracks Dmagain.
AmIn the winter of Fsixty-five we were C/Ghungry, just Dmbarely alive.
AmBy May the tenth FRichmond had fell it?s a C/Gtime I Dmremember oh so wDell.
C/GThe night they Fdrove old Dixie C/Gdown
And the Fbells were ringing
The C/Gnight they Fdrove old Dixie C/Gdown
And all the Fpeople were singing
They wentC/G la la la Fla la la Dmla la la Fla la la la.
