_ [A#m] _ _ _ Virgil [C#] Cain is my name [F#] and I drove on the [A#m] Danville train
_ [C#] _ Till so [A#m] much cavalry came [F#] and tore up the [A#m] tracks again
_ _ [F#] _ In the winter [C#] of 65 [A#] we [A#m] were hungry just [F#]
barely alive
[A#m] _ I took the train [F#] to Richmond that fell [C#] it was a time
I [A#m]
remember oh so _ [Fm] _ [D#] _ well
_ _ [C#] Oh night, [A#m] day, o'clock, [F#] they [C#] sit down
And [A#m] all the bells were ringing
[C#] _ Night, [A#m] day, o'clock, [F#] they [C#] sit down
And [A#m] all the people were singing [C#] they went
Night, [A#m] night, _ _ _ [D#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ [Fm] _ _ [A#m] _ _ [G#] _ _ [C#] _
_ [Fm] _ _ [A#m] _ [G#] night
_ [A#m]
Back with my [C#] wife in Tennessee
_ [F#]
And one day she [A#m] said to _ _ [C#] me
_ _ [A#m] Virgil quick come [F#] see
There goes the [A#m] Robert E.
Lee
_ [F#]
Now I don't [C#] mind them chopping wood
[A#m]
And I don't care [F#] if the money's no [A#m] good
Just take what you [F#] need and leave the rest
[C#] But they should never have [A#m] taken the [D#] very _ _ _ _ _ best
[C#] Oh night, _ [A#m] day, o'clock, [F#] they [C#]
sit down
And [A#m] all the bells were ringing
[C#] Night, _ _ [A#m] day, o'clock, [F#] [C#] they sit down
And [A#m] all the people were singing they [C#] went
Night, night, [A#m] _ _ _ _
[D#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ [Fm] _ _
[A#m] _ _ [G#] _ [C#] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
[A#m] _ _ [G#] _ [A#m] _ night
Like my [C#] father before me
[F#] _ I'm a [A#m] working _ man
[C#] _ And like my [A#m] brother before me
_ [F#] I took a [A#m] rebel's stand
For [F#] he was just 18 [C#]
proud and brave
[A#m] But a Yankee [F#] laid him in his grave
[A#m] I swear by the blood [F#] below my feet
You [C#] can't raise the cane [A#m] back up when it's [D#] in the feed _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] Oh night, _ [A#m] day, o [F#]'clock, they [C#] sit down
And [A#m] all the bells were [C#] ringing
_ Night, [A#m] day, o'clock, [F#] [C#] they sit down
And [A#m] all the people were singing they [C#] went
Night, night, night
[A#m] _ _ _ [D#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
