The Weight (Hd Remastered Edition) - The Band
Lyrics by：The Band
Composed by：The Band
I pulled into Nazareth just
A feelin' 'bout a half past dead
I just need to find
A place where I can lay my head
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
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
I picked up my bag and
Went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw old Carmen and the
Devil walkin' side by side
And I said hey Carmen
Come on will you go downtown
She said well I gotta go but
My friend can stick around anyhow
Take a 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 ain't nothin' that you can say
'Cause is just old Luke and
Luke's waitin' on the judgment day
Well now 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 you put the load right on me
Crazy Chester followed me yeah
And he caught me in the fog
He said I would fix your rack
If you'll just take Jack my dog
I said wait a minute
Chester you know I am a peaceful man
He said
That's okay boy
Won't you feed him when you can
Yeah yeah yeah
Won't ya take a 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 to take me down the line
'Cause 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
I want you to take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
