Bm D Virgil Caine is my name G Bm And I served on the Danville train D Bm 'Till Stoneman's cavalry came G Bm And tore up the tracks again G D In the winter of '65 Bm G We were hungry, just barely alive Bm G By May the 10th, Richmond had fell D Bm E It's a time I remember, oh so well Chorus: D Bm G D The night they drove old Dixie down Bm And the bells were ringing D Bm G D The night they drove old Dixie down Bm And the people were singing D Bm They went, "Na, na, na, na, na, na na E G Na, na, na, na, na, na na" Back with my wife in Tennessee When one day she called to me Said "Virgil, quick, come see, Virgil, There goes the Robert e. Lee!" Now, I don't mind chopping wood And I don't care if the money's no good You take what you need And you leave the rest But they never should Have taken the very best Chorus Like my father before me I will work the land And like my brother above me Who took a rebel stand He was just 18, 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 - x2 | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsD  E  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
