AmVirgil CC/Gaine is the name and IF served on theF/E Danville tDmrain,
AmTill Stoneman's cC/Gavalry came and tFore up the tF/Eracks agDmain.
C/EIn the winter of sixFty-five we were hunC/Ggry, just bareDmly alive.
C/EBy May the tenth RicFhmond had fell.
It was a tC/Gime I remembDmer oh, so wellD.
The nC/Gight they drFove old Dixie dC/Gown,
When all Fthe bells were ringing.
The nC/Gight they drFove old Dixie dC/Gown,
And the pFeople were singing. They went,
"NC/Ga na na Amna na na, na Gna na na na na Fna na na."
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 chopping wood,
And I don't care if the money's no good.
You take what you need and you leave the rest,
But they should never have taken the very best.
(refrain)
Like my father before me, I will work the land,
And like my brother above me, who took a rebel stand.
He was just eighteen, proud and brave,
But a Yankee laid him in his grave.
I swear my the mud below my feet,
You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat.
(refrain)
