        Am               F  
Virgil Caine is the name, and I served on the Danville train  
      C                  G  
'Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again  
       Am               F  
In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive  
       C                    G  
By May the 10th, Richmond had fell, it's a time I remember oh so well  

        Am              F  
The night they drove old Dixie down  
      C                  G  
And the bells were ringing  
        Am              F  
The night they drove old Dixie down  
      C                  G  
And the people were singing  

        Am              F  
They went, "Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na"  
      C                  G  
"Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na"
