THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OLE DIXIE DOWN

Am C/G F Am Dm
Virgil Caine is the name and I served on the Danville train
Am C/G F Am Dm
Till Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again.
Am F C Dm
In the winter of sixty-five we were hungry, just barely alive.

Am C/G F Am Dm
Back with my wife in Tennessee when one day she called to me
Am C/G F Am Dm
Virgil, quick come see there goes Robert E. Lee!
Am F C Dm
Now I don’t mind chopping wood and I don't care if the money's no good.
Am F C Dm D/F#
You take what you need and you leave the rest but they should never have taken the very best.

[CHORUS]

Am C/G F Am Dm
Like my father before me I will work the land
Am C/G F Am Dm
And like my brother above me who took a rebel stand

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

G C G
When I was a child my family would travel
G D G
Down to Western Kentucky where my parents were born
G C G
And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered
G D G
So many times that my memories are worn.

[Chorus]
G C G
And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County
G D G
Down by the Green River where Paradise lay
G C G
Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking
G D G
Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away

G C G
Well sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River
G D G
To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill
G C G
Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols
G D G
But empty pop bottles was all we would kill.

[Chorus]

G C G
Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel
G D G
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land
G C G
Well, they dug for their coal 'til the land was forsaken
G D G
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man.
[Chorus]

G C G
When I die let my ashes float down the Green River
G D G
Let my soul roll on up to the Rochester dam
G C G
I'll be halfway to Heaven with Paradise waiting
G D G
Just five miles away from wherever I am.

If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die"

I spoke not a word although it meant my life

I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife

She visits my grave where the night winds wail
G C G
Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees
C D C G
Nobody knows but me

G
The scaffold was high and eternity neared
D C G
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
G
But sometimes at night when the cold wind moans
D C G
In a long black veil she cries over my bones
