[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
