[G#] [C#]
[A#m] Virgil [C#] Cain is my name [F#] and I drove on the Danville [A#m] train
[C#] Till so much [A#m] cavalry came [F#] and tore up the tracks [A#m] again
[F#] In the winter [C#] of 65 [A#m] we were hungry [F#] just barely alive
[A#m] I took the train [F#] to Richmond that fell it [C#] was a time
I [A#m] remember oh so [Fm] [D#] well
[C#] From night [A#m] they drove [F#] on they [C#] sang down
[A#m] And all the bells were ringing
[C#] From night [A#m] they drove [F#] on they [C#] sang down
[A#m] And all the people were singing [C#] they went

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

[C#] And like my [A#m] brother 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 [A#m] grave
I swear by the [F#] blood below my feet
[C#] You can't raise a cane [A#m] back up when it's [D#] in the feed
[C#] From night [A#m] they drove [F#] on they [C#] sang down
