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