I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Dixie, Cripple Creek, and The Weight are among the songs that Levon primarily wrote.
You are wrong. Robbie Robertson (a Canadian, no less) wrote all of those. Though Levon's vocals and drumming had a lot to do with how popular they were. He was the lone southerner in The Band, I think.

Robbie Robertson got all of the writing credits*
Levon never reconciled with Robbie because he felt he never got his due for the songs he primarily wrote. He goes into detail about this in his book. The rest of the band members agree that the writing credits were shared. Robertson is the only one who says otherwise.

Helm claims the opposite in his 1993 autobiography, “This Wheel’s On Fire,” in which he claims that Robertson ripped off his bandmates by claiming the lion’s share of songwriting credits in The Band (he could not be reached for an interview): “I even confronted Robbie over this issue during this era,” Helm wrote. “… I cautioned that most so-called business moves had [destroyed] a lot of great bands and killed off whatever music was left in them. I told Robbie that The Band was supposed to be partners … Well, it never quite worked out that way. We stayed in the divide and conquer mode
