The Weight (Concert Version) - The Band

I pulled into Nazareth 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 no was all he said

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

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

Take a load for free

Take a load off Fanny

And and and you put the load right on me

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't you stay and keep

Anna Lee company

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

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

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

Catch a cannon ball 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

Take a load for free

Take a load off Fanny

And and and you put the load right on me
