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
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

Take a load off fanny
And you put the load right on me (oh, yeah)
Oh, yeah
