AmVirgil CCaine is the name
And I sFerved on the Danville trAmain
TiCll Stoneman's caAmvalry came
And tFore up the tracks agAmain
FIn the winter of sCixty five
We were hAmungry just baFrely alive
By MAmay the tenth RiFchmond had fell
It's a tCime I remDember oh so weGll G7
The nCight they droFve old Dixie dCown
And the bAmells were ringing
The nCight they drFove old Dixie dCown
And the pAmeople were singing
They went NaC Na Na Na Na Na Na NAma D
Na Na Na Na FNa Na
AmBack with my wife in TeCnnessee
When Fone day she called to Amme
ViCrgil quick comeAm see
There gFoes Robert E LeAme
FNow I don't mind choCpping wood
And I don't cAmare if the moFney's no good
You tAmake what you need and you leFave the rest
But they sChould never have tDaken the very bGest G7
The nCight they droFve old Dixie dCown
And the bAmells were ringing
The nCight they drFove old Dixie dCown
And the pAmeople were singing
They went NaC Na Na Na Na Na Na NAma D
Na Na Na Na FNa Na
AmLike my father befCore me
I will wFork the lAmand
And lCike my brother abAmove me
Who tFook a rebel stAmand
He was jFust eighteen proCud and brave
But a YAmankee laid him iFn his grave
I swAmear by the mud belFow my feet
You can't raCise a Caine back Dup
When he's in defGeat G7
The nCight they droFve old Dixie dCown
And the bAmells were ringing
The nCight they drFove old Dixie dCown
And the pAmeople were singing
They went NaC Na Na Na Na Na Na NAma D
Na Na Na Na FNa Na
