Lyrics
Virgil Caine is the name, and I served on the (F)Danville train,
(Am)'til Stoneman's (C)Cavalry came and (F)tore up the tracks again.
(Am)In the winter of (F)sixtyfive,
we were (C)hungry,
just (Dm)barely alive.
(Am)By May the tenth,
(F)Richmond had fell;
it's a time
I (Dm)remember, oh, so well.
The (C)night they drove old Dixie down,
and the (Fmaj7)bells were ringin', the night they drove old Dixie down.
And the people were singin'.
They went, (C)la la la (Am)la la la,
(Gsus)la la la la la la la la.
