1.Across the Great Divide
Lyricist：Robbie Robertson
Standin' by your window in pain, a pistol in your hand
And I beg you, dear Molly, girl
Try and understand your man the best you can
Across The Great Divide, just grab your hat, and take that ride
Get yourself a bride, and bring your children down to the river
side
I had a goal in my younger days, I nearly wrote my will
But I changed my mind for the better
I'm at the still, had my fill and I'm fit to kill
Across The Great Divide, just grab your hat, and take that ride
Get yourself a bride, and bring your children down to the river
side
Pinball machine, and a Queen, I nearly took a bust
Tried to keep my hands to myself, you say it's a must
But who can you trust？
Harvest moon shinin' down from the sky, a weary sign for all
I'm gonna leave this one horse town, had to stall till the fall
Now I'm gonna crawl, across The Great Divide
Now Molly dear, don't you shed a tear
Your time will surely come, you'll feed your man chicken every
Sunday
Now tell me, hon, what you done with the gun
Across The Great Divide, just grab your hat, and take that ride
Get yourself a bride, and bring your children down to the river
side
2.Rag Mama Rag
Lyricist：Robbie Robertson
Rag Mama rag I can't believe its true
Rag Mama rag a what did you do？
I crawled up to the railroad track
Let the four nineteen scratch my back
Shag Mama shag now what's come over you
Rag Mama rag I'm a pulling out your gag
Gonna turn you lose like an old caboose got a tail I need a drag
I ask about your turtle and you ask about the weather
Well, I can't jump the hurdle and we can't get together
We could be relaxing in my sleeping bag
But all you want to do for me Mama
Is rag Mama rag there's nowhere to go
Rag Mama rag come on resin' up the bow
Rag Mama rag where do ya run？
Rag Mama rag bring your skinny little body back home
Its dog eat dog and cat eat mouse
You can rag Mama rag all over my house
Hail stones beatin' on the roof
The bourbon is a hundred proof
It's you and me and the telephone
Our destiny is quite well known
We don't need to sit and brag
All we gotta do is rag Mama rag Mama rag
Rag mama rag where do you roam？
Rag mama rag bring your skinny little body back home
3.The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
Lyricist：Robbie Robertson
Virgil Caine is the name and I served on the Danville train
'Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
In 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 singing
They went, 'La, la, la'
Back with my wife in Tennessee, when one day she called to me
'Virgil, quick, come see, there go the Robert E.Lee'
Now 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
But they should never have taken the very best
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
They went, 'La, la, la'
Like my father before me, I will 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 by the mud below my feet
You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
They went, 'Na, na, na'
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the people were singing
They went, 'Na, na, na'
4.When You Awake
Lyricist：Richard Manuel, Robbie Robertson
Ollie told me, I'm a fool
So I walked on down the road a mile
Went to the house that brings a smile
Sat upon my grandpa's knee
And what do you think he said to me？
When you awake, you will remember everythin'
You will be hangin' on a string from your
When you believe you will relieve on the soul
That you were born up to grow old and never know
Ollie showed me the fork in the road
You can take to the left or go straight to the right
Use your days and save your nights
Careful where you step and watch whacha eat
Sleep with the light and you got it beat
When you awake you will remember everythin'
You will be hangin' on a string from your
When you believe you will relieve on the soul
That you were born up to grow old and never know
Ollie warned me, it's mean old world
The street don't greet you, yes, it's true
What am I supposed to do？
Read the writin' on the wall
I heard it when I was very small
When you awake, you will remember everythin'
You will be hangin' on a string from your
When you believe you will relieve on the soul
That you were born up to grow old and never know
Wash my hands in lye water
I got a date with the Captains daughter
You can go and tell your brother
We sure gonna love one another, oh yea
May be right and you might be wrong
I ain't gonna worry all day long
Snow's gonna come and the frost gonna bite
My old car froze up last night
Ain't no reason to hang my head I could wake up in the
Mornin' dead
Ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh ohh
If I thought it would do any good
I'd stand on the rock where Moses
5.Whispering Pines
Cadd9 Cmaj7 Em7 Am
If you find me in a gloom, or catch me in a dream
Am／G F Bb G7
Inside my lonely room, there is no in between

Foghorn through the night, calling out to sea
Am Am／G F Bb G7
Protect my only light, 'cause she once belonged to me

Let the waves rush in, let the seagulls cry
Am Am／G F Bb G7-9／D Bb7／D
For if I live again, these hopes will never die

But I dont see you anywhere
Cmaj7 Em Eb Ab6 Gsus4 G7
Cmaj7 Em7
Standing by the well, wishing for the rains
Am Am／G F Bb G7-9
Reaching to the clouds, for nothing else remains
C Em7
Drifting in a daze, when evening will be done
Am
Try looking through a haze
Am／G F Bb G7-9／D Bb7／D
At an empty house, in the cold, cold sun
Eb Eb7
I will wait until it all goes round
Abmaj7 Cm／G Cmaj7 Cadd9
With you in sight, the lost are found
6.Jemima Surrender
Lyricist：Levon Helm, Robbie Robertson
Jemima surrender, I'm gonna give it to you
Ain't no pretender, gonna ride in my canoe
If I were a barker in a girly show
Tell ya what I'd do
I'd lock the door, tear my shirt, and let my river flow
Oh, oh, sweet Jemima won't you come out tonight？
The ground is so warm and the moon is so bright
Jemima surrender, that's all ya have to do
I'll bring over my fender, and I'll play all night for you
There's a bird on my head and his mouth won't talk
You know he laughs just like a goose
But looks like a hawk
Jemima, you know what I'm tryin' to say
Meet me in front and we'll fly away
You can change your name
You can find a new walk
You can change a lock, it's all the same
You don't have to give out
If you'll only give in
You can jump and shout
But can't you see girl, that I'm bound to win
Jemima surrender, I'm gonna give it to you
Ain't no pretender, gonna see my tattoo
I hand you my rod and you hand me that line
That's what you do
And now, we ain't doin' much fishin', or drinkin' any wine
Sweet Jemima, if I were king
I'd fix you up with a diamond ring
7.Rockin' Chair
Lyricist：Robbie Robertson
Hang around, Willie boy
Don't you raise the sails anymore
It's for sure, I've spent my whole life at sea
And I'm pushin' age seventy three
Now there's only one place that was meant for me
Oh, to be home again
Down in Old Virginny
With my very best friend
They call him 'Ragtime Willie'
We're gonna soothe away the rest of our years
We're gonna put away all of our tears
That big rockin' chair won't go nowhere
Slow down, Willie boy
Your heart's gonna give right out on you
It's true, and I believe I know what we should do
Turn the stern and point to shore
The seven seas won't carry us no more
Oh, to be home again
Down in Old Virginny
With my very best friend
They call him 'Ragtime Willie'
I can't wait to sniff that air
Dip'n snuff, I won't have no care
That big rockin' chair won't go nowhere
Hear the sound, Willie boy
The flyin' Dutchman's on the reef
It's my belief, we've used up all our time
This hill's to steep to climb
And the days that remain ain't worth a dime
Oh, to be home again
Down in Old Virginny
With my very best friend
They call him 'Ragtime Willie'
Would a been nice just to see the folks
Listen once again to the stale jokes
That big rockin' chair won't go nowhere
I can hear somethin' callin' on me
And you know where I want to be
Oh Willie don't you hear that sound
Oh to be home again down in Old Virginny
I just want to get my feet back on the ground
Oh to be home again down in Old Virginny
I'd love to see my very best friend
They call him 'Ragtime Willie'
I believe old rockin chair's got me
Oh to be home again
8.Look Out Cleveland
Lyricist：Robbie Robertson
Look out, Cleveland, the storm is comin' through
And it's runnin' right up on you
Look out, Houston, there'll be thunder on the hill
Bye bye, baby, don't you lie so still
Was Wedn'sday evenin' when first we heard the word
It did not come by train nor bird
T'was when Ben pike stepped down to say
'This old town's gonna blow away'
Look out, Cleveland, the storm is comin' through
And it's runnin' right up on you
Look out, Houston, there'll be thunder on the hill
Bye bye, baby, don't you lie so still
Chain lightnin', frightnin' as it may seem
Must not be mistaken for just another dream
Justice of the peace don't know his own fate
But you'll go down in the shelter late
Look out, Cleveland, the storm is comin' through
And it's runnin' right up on you
Look out, Houston, there'll be thunder on the hill
Bye bye, baby, don't you lie so still
Hidin' your money won't do no good, no good
Build a big wall, you know you would if you could, yeah
When clouds of warnin' come into view
It'll get the ol' woman right outta of her shoe
Look out, Cleveland, the storm is comin' through
And it's runnin' right up on you
Look out, Houston, there'll be thunder on the hill
Bye bye, baby, don't you lie so still
9.Jawbone
Lyricist：Richard Manuel, Robbie Robertson
Oh, Jawbone, when did you first go wrong？
Oh, Jawbone, where is it you belong？
Three time looser, you'll never learn
Lay down your tools before you burn
You keep on runnin' and hidin' your face
Spreadin' your heat all over the place
I'm a thief and I dig it
Upon a beef, I'm gonna rig it
I'm a thief and I dig it
Oh, Jawbone, why don't you sit and moan？
Oh, Jawbone, you know that it's stone for stone
Sneak through the night upon your toes
To look in your eye, it never shows
Your name upon the post office wall
Put you on edge 'cause they wrote it too small
I'm a thief and I dig it
Upon a beef, I'm gonna rig it
I'm a thief and I dig it
Oh, Jawbone, revenge stays on your mind
Oh, Jawbone, you been doin' too much time
Pull off a job with an inside man
Who needs the cash and likes your plan
Then you will know just who to thank
When you land right back in the tank
I'm a thief and I dig it
I'm upon a beef, I'm gonna rig it
I'm a thief and I dig it
Oh, Jawbone, why don't you go on home？
Oh, Jawbone, where is it you belong？
Boostin', goin' out on the Lam
You know that you'll steal anything that you can
Temptation stands just behind that door
So what you wanna go and open it for？
I'm a thief and I dig it
Upon a beef, I'm gonna rig it
I'm a thief and I dig it
10.The Unfaithful Servant
Lyricist：Robbie Robertson
Unfaithful servant
I hear you leavin' soon in the mornin'
What did you do to the lady
That she's gonna have to send you away？
Unfaithful servant
You don't have to say you're sorry
If you done it just for the spite
Or did you do it just for the glory？
Like a stranger you turned your back
Left your keys and gone to pack
Bear in mind who's to blame an' all the shame
She really cared, the time she spared and the home you shared
Unfaithful servant
I can hear the whistle blowin'
Yes, that train is comin' and soon you'll be goin'
Let us not bow our heads for we won't be complainin'
Life has been good to us all even when that sky is rainin'
To take it like a grain of salt is all I can do, it's no one's
fault
Makes no difference if we fade away
It's just as it was, it's much too cold for me to stay
Goodbye to that country home
So long to a lady I have known
Farewell to my other side
I'd best just take it in stride
Unfaithful servant
You'll learn to find your place
I can see it in your smile
And yes, I can see it in your face
The memories will linger on
The good old days they're all gone
Oh, lonesome servant can't you see
We're still one and the same, just you and me
11.King Harvest
Lyricist：Robbie Robertson
Corn in the fields
Listen to the rice when the wind blows 'cross the water
King harvest has surely come
I work for the union
'Cause she's so good to me
And I'm bound to come out on top
That's where she said I should be
I will hear every word the boss may say
For he's the one who hands me down my pay
Looks like this time I'm gonna get to stay
I'm a union man, now, all the way
The smell of the leaves
From the magnolia trees in the meadow
King harvest has surely come
Dry summer, then comes fall
Which I depend on most of all
Hey, rainmaker, can't you hear the call？
Please let these crops grow tall
Long enough I've been up on skid row
And it's plain to see, I've nothin' to show
I'm glad to pay those union dues
Just don't judge me by my shoes
Scarecrow and a yellow moon
Pretty soon the carnival on the edge of town
King harvest has surely come
Last year, this time, wasn't no joke
My whole barn went up in smoke
My horse Jethro, well he went mad
And I can't remember things bein' that bad
Then here come a man with a paper and a pen
Tellin' us our hard times are about to end
And then, if they don't give us what we like
He said, 'Men, that's when you gotta go on strike'
Corn in the fields
Listen to the rice when the wind blows 'cross the water
King Harvest has surely come
12.Get Up Jake
Lyricist：Robbie Robertson
Get up Jake, it's late in the mornin'
The rain is pourin' and we got work to do
Get up Jake, there's no need lyin'
You tell me that you're dyin' but I know it's not true
Now me and Jake, we work down on the river
On the ferry 'Baltimore'
And when Jake don't rise up in the mornin'
People lined up all along the shore
Get up Jake, it's late in the mornin'
The rain is pourin' and we got work to do
Get up Jake, there's no need lyin'
You tell me that you're dyin' but I know it's not true
Crap game will take you to the cleaners
Rye whiskey to the grave
River Woman, don't you come no closer
'Cause me and Jake got no time to save, oh, oh
Get up Jake, it's late in the mornin'
The rain is pourin' and we got work to do
Get up Jake, there's no need lyin'
You tell me that you're dyin' but I know it's not true
Dirty Dan, he came up from Savannah
Carried a mean streak in his eye
Now, him and Jake both wanted Annabella
I guess one man here has got to die
Get up Jake, it's late in the mornin'
The rain is pourin' and we got work to do
Get up Jake, there's no need dyin'
Annabelle's cryin' and it's all for you
13.Up on Cripple Creek
Lyricist：Robbie Robertson
When I get off of this mountain
You know where I want to go
Straight down the Mississippi river
To the Gulf of Mexico
To Lake Charles Louisiana
Little Bessie, girl that I once knew
She told me just to come on by
If there's anything that she could do
Up on Cripple Creek, she sends me
If I spring a leak, she mends me
I don't have to speak, as she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
Good luck had just stung me
To the race track I did go
She bet on one horse to win
And I bet on another to show
The odds were in my favor
I had 'em five to one
When that nag to win came around the track
Sure enough we had won
Up on Cripple Creek, as she sends me
If I spring a leak, as she mends me
I don't have to speak, as she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
I took up all of my winnings
And I gave my little Bessie half
And she tore it up and threw it in my face
Just for a laugh
Now there's one thing in the whole wide world
I sure would like to see
That's when that little love of mine
Dips her doughnut in my tea
Up on Cripple Creek, as she sends me
If I spring a leak, as she mends me
I don't have to speak, as she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
Now me and my mate were back at the shack
We had Spike Jones on the box
She said, 'I can't take the way he sings
But I love to hear him talk'
Now that just gave my heart a throb
To the bottom of my feet
And I swore as I took another pull
My Bessie can't be beat
Up on Cripple Creek, as she sends me
If I spring a leak, as she mends me
I don't have to speak, as she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
As there's a flood out in California
And up North it's freezing cold
And this living on the road
Is getting pretty old
So I guess, I'll call up my big mama
Tell her I'll be rolling in
But you know, deep down
I'm kind of tempted
To go and see my Bessie again
Up on Cripple Creek, she sends me
If I spring a leak, she mends me
I don't have to speak, she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
