Virgil Caine is the name and I served on the Denver train Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again In the winter of '65 we was hungry, just barely alive By May 10, Richmond had fell, it was a time I remember, oh so well The night they drove ole Dixie down, all the bells were ringing The night they drove ole Dixie down, all the people were singing Na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na Back with my wife in Tennessee one day she called for me Virgil quick come see there goes the "Robert E. Lee" I don't mind chopping wood and I don't care if the money's no good Take what you need and leave the rest They should never have taken the very best Like my father before me, I'm a peaceful man Like my brother before me, I took a rebel stand Just 18, proud and gray, but a Yankee laid him in his grave Swear by the blood running through (on) my feet You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeatThese lyrics stolen from http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mleone/dead-lyrics.html and attributed to Jerry Stratton (jerry@teetot.acusd.edu)
