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 |
