Lyrics:Robbie Robertson Music:Robbie Robertson | |
Virgil Caine is the name, and I served on the Danville train, | |
'Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again. | |
In the winter of '65, We were hungry, just barely alive. | |
By May the tenth, Richmond had fell, it's a time I remember, oh so well, | |
(Chorus) | |
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and the bells were ringing, | |
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and the people were singin'. They went | |
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, | |
Back with my wife in Tennessee, When one day she called to me, | |
'Virgil, quick, come see, there goes Robert E. Lee!' | |
Now I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good. | |
Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest, | |
But they should never have taken the very best. | |
(Chorus) | |
Like my father before me, I will work the land, | |
Like my brother above me, who took a rebel stand. | |
He was just eighteen, proud and brave, But a Yankee laid him in his grave, | |
I swear by the mud below my feet, | |
You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat. | |
(Chorus and fade) |
