Virgil Caine is the name, and I served on the Danville train,
Am C/G F F/E Dm'Til Stoneman's Calvery came and tore up the tracks again.
Am/E F C DmIn the winter of '65, We were hungry, just barely alive.
By May the tenth, Richmond had fell, it's a time I remember, oh so well,
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and the bells were ringing,
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and the people were singin'. They went
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,
Am C F F/E Dm"Virgil, quick, come see, there goes Robert E. Lee!"
Am/E F C DmNow I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good.
Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest,
C Dm DBut they never should have taken the very best. (Chorus)
Am C F F/E Dm
Like my father before me, I will work the land,
Am C F F/E DmLike my brother above me, who took a rebel stand.
He was just eighteen, proud and brave, But a Yankee laid him in his grave,
Am/E FI swear by the mud below my feet,
C Dm DYou can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat. (Chorus and fade)
THE WEIGHT
(The Band)
G Bm C G C GI pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead;
Bm C G C GI just need some place where I can lay my head.
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
Bm C G C GHe just grinned and shook my hand, and "No!", was all he said.
D C G D G
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free;
D C GTake a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.

I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide;
G Bm C G C GWhen I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side.
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown."
Bm C G C GShe said, "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around."
(Chorus)Bm C G C GGo down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
Bm C G C GIt's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on Judgement Day.
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
Bm C G C GHe said, "Do me a favor, son, woncha stay and keep Anna Lee company?"
(Chorus)
Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
Bm C G C GHe said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog."
Bm C G C GI said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man."
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can."
Catch a cannon ball now, to take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time.
Bm C G C GTo get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one.
Bm C G C GWho sent me here with her regards for everyone.
(Chorus)
