THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OLD DIXIE DOWN
Robbie Robertson

|C | |

Am C/G F Em Dm
Virgil Cain is my name and I served on the Danville train,
Am C/G F Em Dm
Till Stonewall`s cavalry came and tore up the tracks again.
C/E F C Dm
In the winter of sixty-five we were hungry, just barely alive.
C/E F
By May the tenth Richmond had fell.
C Dm D
It was a time I remember all so well.

C/G F C/G
The night they drove old Dixie down,
F
And the bells were ringing.
C/G F C/G
The night they drove old Dixie down,
F
And the people were singing. They went...
C/G Am G F
"La la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la."

Back with my wife in Tennessee, when one day she called to me.
"Virgil, quick! Come see! There goes Robert E. Lee!"
Now I don`t mind I`m chopping wood,
And I don`t care if the money`s no good.
You take what you need and you leave the rest,
But they should never have taken the very best.

(refrain)

Like my father before me, I work the land.
And like my brother above me, who took a rebel stand.
He was just eighteen, proud and brave,
But a Yankee laid him in his grave.
I swear my the mud below my feet,
You can`t raise the cane back up when it`s in the feed.

(refrain)

|C C/B |Bb Am |Ab G |

THE WEIGHT
(The Band)
G Bm C G C G
I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin` about half past dead;

Bm C G C G
I just need some place where I can lay my head.

Bm C G C G
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"

Bm C G C G
He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No!", was all he said.

------------------------------------------------
(Chorus)
D C G D G
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free;

D C G
Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.

G(Fbass) Em Em7 C
------------------------------------------------

G Bm C G C G
I picked up my bag, I went lookin` for a place to hide;

G Bm C G C G
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin` side by side.

Bm C G C G
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let`s go downtown."

Bm C G C G
She said, "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around."

(Chorus)

Bm C G C G
Go down, Miss Moses, there`s nothin` you can say

Bm C G C G
It`s just ol` Luke, and Luke`s waitin` on Judgement Day.

Bm C G C G
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"

Bm C G C G
He said, "Do me a favor, son, woncha stay and keep Anna Lee company?"

(Chorus)

Bm C G C G
Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.

Bm C G C G
He said, "I will fix your rack, if you`ll take Jack, my dog."

Bm C G C G
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I`m a peaceful man."

Bm C G C G
He said, "That`s okay, boy, won`t you feed him when you can."

(Chorus)

Bm C G C G
Catch a cannon ball now, to take me down the line

Bm C G C G
My bag is sinkin` low and I do believe it`s time.

Bm C G C G
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she`s the only one.

Bm C G C G
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.

(Chorus)
