Lyrics of The Weight by The Band
verse
I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead
verse
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, "No" was all he said
chorus
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
verse
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"
chorus
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
verse
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just ol' Luke and Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won'tcha stay and keep Anna Lee company?"
chorus
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
verse
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"
chorus
Yeah, take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
verse
Catch a cannon ball now to take me down the line
verse
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
chorus
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
Writer(s): Jaime Robbie Robertson
