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] |
