The Weight
by J.R.Robertson. Album: Music from Big Pink
I pulled into Nazareth, 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.
(Chorus:)
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fanny,
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, let's go downtown."
She said, "I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around."
(Chorus)
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
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?"
(Chorus)
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."
(Chorus)
Catch a cannonball now, t'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.
(Chorus)

FYI...It's called THE WEIGHT.
I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling 'bout 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, "No" was all he said.
{Chorus}
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 bags, I went looking for a place to hide
Then I saw old Carmen and the devil walking side by side
I said, "Hey, Carmen, c'mon, let's go downtown"
She said, "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around"
{Chorus}
Go down, miss Moses, ain't nothin' you can say
It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on the judgement day
Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Annalee
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep Annalee company"
{Chorus}
Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog
Said, "I will fix your rag, if you;ll take Jack, my dog"
I said, "Wait a minute Chester - you know, I'm a peaceful man"
He said, "That's ok, boy, won't you feed him when you can"
{Chorus}
Get your cannonball, now to take me down the line
My bag is sinking 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
{Chorus}

It's "The Weight" by the Band. Sorry I don't have all the lyrics, but
with the right title you might have more luck finding them!
Take a load off, Annie.
Take a load for free.
Take a load off, Annie.
And put the load right on me.

Let Me See Here . . .
I pulled in to Nazareth, was feelin' 'bout half past dead
Just needed a place where I could lay my head
"Hey, Mister can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned & shook my hand, "No" was all he said
Take the load off Fanny
Take the load for free
Take the load off Fanny
And she put the load right on me
I packed up my bags - I went lookin for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen & the devil walkin side by side
I said, "Hey Carmen, c'mon let's go downtown"
She said, "I gotta go but my friend can stick around
Take the load ...
Crazy Chester Cannonball

He said I will fix your rap if you feed Jack my dog
I said, "Wait a minute Chester you know I'm a peaceful man"
He said "That's OK boy, won't you feed him when you can
Take the load ...
Rolled up Miss Moses and nothin you can say
There's just no lookin -0 Luke's waitin' on the judgement day
I said, "Luke my friend, what about young Annalee?"
He said, "Do me a favor son, won't you stay & keep Annalee company
Take the load ...
