Lyrics The Weight (Remastered) - The Band
I
pulled
into
Nazareth
Was
feelin'
'bout
half
past
dead
I
just
needed
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
(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
(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
favour,
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
(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
(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
(You
put
the
load
right
on
me)
