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 |
