[00:40.08] Virgil Caine is the name and I served on the Danville train
[00:47.26] Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
[00:54.32] In the winter of sixty five we were hungry just barely alive
[01:01.63] By May the tenth Richmond had fell it's a time I remember oh so well
[01:09.05]
[01:37.73] Back with my wife in Tennessee when one day she called to me
[01:46.22] Virgil quick come see there goes Robert E Lee
[01:52.48] Now I don't mind chopping wood
[01:56.15] And I don't care if the money's no good
[01:59.98] You take what you need and you leave the rest
[02:03.23] But they should never have taken the very best
[02:08.21]
[02:40.29] Like my father before me I will work the land
[02:47.67] Like my brother above me who took a rebel stand
[02:54.59] He was just eighteen proud and brave
[02:58.76] But a yankee laid him in his grave
[03:02.56] I swear by the mud below my feet
[03:05.93] You can't raise a caine back up when he's in defeat
[03:11.25]
[03:42.84][03:12.37][02:09.79][01:10.91] The night they drove old Dixie down
[03:48.51][03:17.63][02:15.13][01:15.84] And the bells were ringing
[03:50.82][03:20.14][02:17.45][01:18.27] The night they drove old Dixie down
[03:56.18][03:25.37][02:22.84][01:23.48] And the people were singing. They went la la la la la la
[04:02.43][03:31.60][02:29.05][01:29.72] La la la la la la la la
[03:35.40][02:32.74][01:33.33]
[04:06.28] ~~end~~
