Current song lyrics
Virgil Caine is my name,<br />And I drove on the Danville train,<br />'Til so much cavalry came and tore up the tracks again.<br />In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive.<br />I took the train to Richmond, that fell,<br />It was a time I remember, oh so well,<br /><br />The night they drove Old Dixie down,<br />And all the bells were ringing,<br />The night they drove old Dixie down,<br />And all 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,<br />And 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,<br />And I don't care if the money's no good.<br />Just take what ya need and leave the rest,<br />But they should never have taken the very best.<br /><br />The night they drove Old Dixie down,<br />And all the bells were ringing,<br />The night they drove old Dixie down,<br />And all the people were singin', they went<br />La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la<br /><br />Like my father before me, I'm a working man,<br />And like my brother before me, I took a rebel stand.<br />He was just eighteen, proud and brave,<br />But a Yankee laid him in his grave,<br />I swear by the blood below my feet,<br />You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat.<br /><br />The night they drove Old Dixie down,<br />And all the bells were ringing,<br />The night they drove old Dixie down,<br />And all the people were singin', they went<br />La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la<br />-- Fade --
