I believe the line is "there goes The Robert E. Lee", which was a steamboat on the Mississippi River. Virgil Caine is talking about his life after the Civil War, when he was "back with [his] wife in Tennessee".

And the cavalry were operating under Union General George Stoneman, not Stonewall Jackson.

And only one of the songwriters was Canadian (Robbie Robertson). The other songwriter was Levon Helm, who was born in Arkansas.
