The Weight (feat. Robbie Robertson, Ringo Starr, Lukas Nelson & Mermans Mosengo)

Pulled into Nazareth, I was feeling about half past dead I just need some place where I could 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 you put the load right on me I picked up my bag, went looking 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 you put the load right on me Go down, Miss Moses, there ain't nothin' you can say It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on 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 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" 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 cannonball now to take me down the line My bag is sinkin' low, and I do believe it's time To get me back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one Who sent me here with her regards to everyone (yeah!) Take a load off fanny (take a load off) Take a load for free (yeah!) Take a load off fanny And you put the load right on me (oh, yeah) Oh, yeah
