The Weight

The Weight - Rick Danko Band

I pulled into nazareth i 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 and no was all he said

Take a load off fannie take a load for free

Take a load off fannie and

And and you can 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 lets go downtown

She said i gotta go but mfriend can stick around

Take a load off fannie take a load for free

Take a load off fannie and

And and you can put the load right on me

Go down miss moses there’s nothin you can say

It’s just ol luke and lukes 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 fannie take a load for free

Take a load off fannie and

And and you can put the load right on me

Crazy chester followed me and he caught me in the fog

He said i will fix your rags if you‘ll take jack my dog

I said wait a minute chester you know i’m a peaceful man

He said thats okay boy won't you feed him when you can

Take a load off fannie take a load for free

Take a load off fannie and

And and you can put the load right on me

Catch a cannonball now take me down the line

My bag is sinkin low and i do believe it’s time

To get back to miss annie you know she's the only one

Who sent me here with her regards for everyone

Take a load off fannie take a load for free

Take a load off fannie and

And and you can put the load right on me
