Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.

The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
The Band
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 tenth
Richmond had fell
It’s a time
I remember oh so well
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringin’
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singin’
They went
Na
Na na
Na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na na
Back with my wife in Tennessee
When one day she called to me
Virgil quick come see
There goes a Robert E. Lee
Now I don’t mind choppin’ wood
And I don’t care if ma money’s no good
Ya take what ya need
And ya leave the rest
But they should have never taken
The very best
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringin’
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singin’
They went
Na
Na na
Na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na na
Like my father before me
I’m a workin’ man
Like my brother before 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 all the bells were ringin’
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singin’
They went
Na
Na na
Na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na na
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringin’
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singin’
They went
Na
Na na
Na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na na

The Weight
The Band
I pulled into Nazareth
I was feelin’ about half past dead
I just need some place where
I can lay my head
Hey mister can you tell me
Where a man might find a bed
He just grinned and shook my hand
And no was all he said
Take a load off Fanny
Talk a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And
And
And
You can put the load right on me
You can put the load right on me
I picked up my bag
I went lookin’ for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the devil
Walkin’ side by side
I said
Hey Carmen
Come on let’s go downtown
She said
I gotta go
But my friend can stick around
Take a load off Fanny
Talk a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And
And
And
You can put the load right on me
You can put the load right on me
Go down now Moses
There’s nothin’ you can say
It’s just ol’ Luke
And Luke’s waitin’ on Judgment Day
He said
Do me a favor son
Won’t you stay
And keep Anna Lee company
Take a load off Fanny
Talk a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And
And
And
You can put the load right on me
You can put the load right on me
Crazy Chester followed me
And he caught me in the fog
He said
I will fix your rack
If you’ll take Jack my dog
I 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
Take a load off Fanny
Talk a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And
And
And
You can put the load right on me
You can put the load right on me
Catch a Cannonball
Now to take me down the line
My bag is sinkin’ low
And I do believe it’s time
To get back to Miss Fanny
You know she’s the only one
Who sent me here
With her regards for everyone
Take a load off Fanny
Talk a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And
And
And
You can put the load right on me
You can put the load right on me
