  Virgil Caine is the name and I served on the Danville train 

  'Till Stoneman's cavalry came and they tore up the tracks again

  In the winter of sixty five, we were hungry, just barely alive 

  By May tenth, Richmond had fell 

  It's a time I remember, oh so well

  Back with my wife in Tennessee, when one day she called to me 

  Said Virgil, quick, come and see, there goes Robert E. Lee

  B2:
  Now, I don't mind chopping wood and I don't care if the money's no good 

  You take what you need and you leave the rest 

  But they should never have taken the very best

  Like my father before me I will work the land 

  And like my brother above me, who took a rebel stand

  He was just 18, proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in his grave 

  And I swear by the mud below my feet 

  You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat
