[A] virgin [C] old cane is her name
[F] And I served on [Am] the [D] dance floor trip
[Am] To [C] Stonehenge Calvary came
[F] And they tore [A] up the track [Dm] again
[Am] In the winter [F] of sixty-five
[C] We were hungry [Dm] just to barely alive
[Am] My mate had [F] a rich man in town
[C] It's a time I [D] remember oh so well
The [C] night they [F] drove old [C] Dixie down
When [F] all the bells were ringing
[C]
The night [F] they drove old Dixie [C] down
And [F] all the people were singing

The [C] night [F] that the moon came [C] straight down, when [F] all the bells were ringing,
[C] the night [F] the moon came [C] straight down, and [F] all the people were singing,

[A] he was just 18, [F] proud and brave, [C] but a Yankee, a [Dm] lady, made his grave,
[Am] and I swear by the boy [F] below my feet, you [C] can't raise a cane [Dm] back up when he's in [D] defeat.
[C] The night that [F] the moon [C] came straight down, when [F] all the bells were ringing,
