Current song lyrics

Virgil Caine is the name, <br />and I served on the danville train, <br />til stonemans cavalry came and tore up the tracks again.<br />In the winter of 65, we were hungry, <br />just barely alive<br />By may the tenth, <br />Richmond had fell, <br />its a time I remember, oh so well,<br /><br />(chorus)<br /><br />The night they drove old dixie down, <br />and the bells were ringing,<br />The night they drove old dixie down, <br />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, <br />when one day she called to me,<br />Virgil, quick, come see, <br />there goes Robert E. Lee!<br />Now I dont mind choppin wood, <br />and I dont care if the moneys no good.<br />Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest,<br />But they should never have taken the very best. <br /><br />(chorus)<br /><br />Like my father before me, <br />I will work the land,<br />Like my brother above me, <br />who took a rebel stand.<br />He was just eighteen, <br />proud and brave, <br />but a yankee laid him in his grave,<br /><br />I swear by the mud below my feet,<br />You cant raise a caine back up when hes in defeat.
