| [00:09.76] | Virgil Caine is my name and I served on the Danville train |
| [00:16.70] | Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again |
| [00:24.23] | In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive |
| [00:31.47] | I took the train to Richmond that fell |
| [00:34.41] | It was a time I remember, oh, so well |
| [00:41.98] | The night they drove old Dixie down |
| [00:47.57] | And all the bells were ringin |
| [00:50.07] | The night they drove old Dixie down |
| [00:55.00] | And all the were people singin' |
| [00:56.74] | They went, naa na-na naa na-na, na-naa na-naa na-naa naa na-naa |
| [01:03.13] | na-na-naa |
| [01:06.34] | |
| [01:14.21] | Back with my wife in Tenessee |
| [01:17.81] | And one day she said to me |
| [01:20.78] | |
| [01:22.53] | Virgil, quick come see |
| [01:25.21] | There goes the Robert E. Lee |
| [01:28.37] | |
| [01:28.99] | Now I don't mind chopping wood |
| [01:32.58] | And I don't care if the money's no good |
| [01:36.35] | Just take what you need and leave the rest |
| [01:39.62] | But they should never have taken the very best |
| [01:46.39] | |
| [02:19.85] | my Like father before me, I'm a working man |
| [02:26.84] | And like my brother before me, I took a rebel stand |
| [02:33.21] | Oh, he was just 18, proud and brave |
| [02:37.10] | But a yankee laid him in his grave |
| [02:40.89] | I swear by the blood below my feet |
| [02:44.07] | You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat |
