_ [A#m] _ _ _ Virgil [C#] Cain is my name [F#] and I drove on the [A#m] Danville train
_ [C#] _ Till so much [A#m]
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 it [C#] was a time
I [A#m] remember oh so _ _ [D#] well _
_ _ [C#] Oh night [A#m] they drove [F#] old [C#] Dixie down
And [A#m] all the bells were ringing
[C#] Oh night [A#m] they drove [F#] old [C#] Dixie down
And [A#m] all the people were singing [C#] they went
Night [A#m] and _ _ _ [D#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ [Fm] _ _ [A#m] _ _ [G#] _ _ [C#] _
_ [Fm] _ _ [A#m] _ [G#] night
[A#m] That was 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 I'm chopping wood
[A#m]
And I don't care if [F#] the money's no [A#m] good
Just take what you [F#] need and leave the rest
[C#] But they should never [A#m] have taken the [D#] very _ _ _ _ _ best
[C#] Oh night _ [A#m] they drove [F#] old [C#] Dixie down
And [A#m] all the bells were ringing
[C#] Oh night [A#m] they drove [F#] old [C#] Dixie _ down
And [A#m] all the people were singing they [C#] went _ Night
[A#m] _ _ _ [D#] _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ [Fm] _ _
[A#m] _ _ [G#] _ _ [C#] _ _ [Fm] _ _
[A#m] _ _ [G#] _ [A#m] _ Like my [C#] father before me _ [F#] _ I'm a [A#m] working _ _ [C#] man
And like my [A#m] brother before _ [F#] me I took a [A#m] rebel's stand
For [F#] he was just eighteen [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 a cane [A#m] back up when it's [D#] in the _ _ _ _ feet
[C#] Oh night [A#m] they drove [F#] old [C#] Dixie down
And [A#m] all the bells were [C#] ringing
Oh night [A#m] they drove [F#] old [C#] Dixie down
And [A#m] all the people were singing [C#] they went Night
