Virgil CaiEmne is my name and IG served on the DanviClle train Em
Till StoGneman's cavalry Emcame and tore up the trackCs again. Em
In theC winter of '65, we werGe hungry, just barEmely alive. C
By May thEme tenth, Richmond had fCell.
It was a time GI remember oh, so Emwell. A
The Gnight they Emdrove old CDixieG down, Em and all the bells were ringing,
The Gnight they Emdrove old CDixieG down, and Emall the people were singing.
They went,
G"Naa na-na naa na-na, na
EmNa na na na na na naA na na" C
Back with my wife in Tennessee, when one day she called to me,
"Virgil, quick, come see: there goes Robert E. Lee!"
Now, I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if my money's no good.
Just take what you need and leave the rest
But they should never have taken the very best.
Chorus
Like my father before me, I will work the land.
And, like my brother before me, who took a rebel stand.
He was just 18, proud and brave, when 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
