_ _ [A#m] _ _ _ [C#] Virgil Cain is my [F#] name
And I drove on the [A#m] Dandel train
_ [C#] _ Till so [A#m] much cavalry came
[F#] And tore up the [A#m] tracks again
_ [F#] _ In the [C#] winter of 65
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 [A#m] I remember oh so [D#] _ _ _ well
_ _ [C#] From night [A#m] they go [F#] on they [C#] sit down
And [A#m] all the bells were ringing
[C#] From night _ [A#m]

Now I don't [C#] mind them chopping wood
[A#m] And I don't care [F#] if the money's no good
[A#m]
Just take what you [F#] need and leave the rest
[C#] But they should never [A#m] have taken
The [D#] very _ _ _ _ _ best
[C#] From night [A#m] they go on they [C#] sit _ down
[A#m] And all the bells were ringing
[C#]
From night they [A#m] go on they [C#] sit down

Like my father [C#] before me
_ [F#] _ I'm a working [A#m] _
man
_ [C#] And like my brother [A#m]
before me
_ [F#] I took a [A#m] rebel's stand
Well [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
[C#] You can't raise your cane [A#m] back up
When it's [D#] in the feed _ _ _
