The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down The Band
[Bm]Virgil[D] Caine is my name,[G] and i served on the Dannville[Bm] train
Till Stonewalls Cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
[G]In the winter of '65 [D]we were hungry,[Bm] just barely al[G]ive
[Bm]By May 10th Richm[G]ond had fall ? i[D]t was a time that i r[Bm]emember well[E]
[D]The night the[Bm]y drove old di[G]xie down, and t[D]he bells were ringin'[Bm]
The night they drove old Dixie down, and the people were singin' → D-Hm-E-G lalalalaalalalaa-part
Back with my wife in Tennesse, when one day she called me
Virgil! Quick! Come an' see ? there goes Robert E. Lee
Now i don't mind i'm chopping wood, and the money's no good
you take what you need and you leave the rest, but they've taken the very best
[D]The night the[Bm]y drove old di[G]xie down, and t[D]he bells were ringin'[Bm]
The night they drove old Dixie down, and the people were singin' → D-Hm-E-G
Like my father before me, i work on the land
and like my brother above me, who took a rebel stand
He was just eighteen, proud and brave, but a yankee laid him in his grave
I swear by the mud down below my feet, you can't raise the cane back up when its in the feed
[D]The night the[Bm]y drove old di[G]xie down, and t[D]he bells were ringin'[Bm]
The night they drove old Dixie down, and the people were singin' → D-Hm-E-G
