The Weight (2008 Remaster) - Bob Dylan
I pulled into Nazareth
Was feelin' about half past dead;
I just need a final 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 (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
And I said "Hey Carmen come on
Would you go downtown "
She said "I gotta go but m'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
Because It's just ol' Luke
And Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day
"Well Luke my friend what about young Anna Lee "
He said "Do me a favor son
Woncha stay an' 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
Oh yeah if you'll just 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 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 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
