F C Am F In the winter of ’65, we were hungry, just barely alive

Am F C Am | D | D7 | I took the train to Richmond that fell, it was a time I remember oh so well

 

[Chorus] C Am F C Am

The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the bells were ringin’ C Am F C Am

The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the people were singin’, they went:

C Am D F | C C/B | C/A C/G | C C/B | C/A C/G |

Back with my wife in Tennessee, and one day she said to me

C Am F Am “Virgil, quick come see, there goes the Robert E Lee.” F C Am F

Now, I don’t mind choppin’ wood, and I don’t care if the money’s no good Am F C Am | D | D7 |

Just take what you need and leave the rest, but they should never have taken the very best.

C Am F Am And like my brother before me, I took a rebel stand F C Am F

Well, he was just eighteen, proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in his grave Am F C Am | D | D7 |

I swear by the blood below my feet, you can’t raise a Caine back up when he’s in defeat.
