The Weight Lyrics

Original Performer: The Band

I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling bout half past
dead;
I just need a 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, "No" was
all he said.

Take the load off Fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on
me.

I picked up my bag, I went looking for a place to
hide;
when I saw Carmen and the devil walking 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 the load off Fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on
me.

Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothing you can say
It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on the Judgment
Day.
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young AnnaBlues Traveller - The Weight - http://motolyrics.com/blues-traveller/the-weight-lyrics.html
Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay and
keep Anna Lee company?"

Take the load off Fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fanny, and you 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 the load off Fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on
me.

Catch a cannon ball now, take me down the line.
My bag is sinking 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 the load off Fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on
me.
