the band - the weight (concert version) lyrics

[verse 1: levon helm]
i pulled into nazereth
just a+feelin’ ’bout half+past dead
i just need to find a place
where i can lay my head
“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: levon helm & richard manuel and rick danko]
take a load off f+nny
take a load for free
take a load off of f+nny
and (and) you put the load right on me (you put the load right on me)

[verse 2: levon helm]
i picked up my bag
and went lookin’ for a place to hide
when i saw carmen and the devil
walkin’ side by side
and i said, “hey carmen
come on, would you go downtown?”
and she said, “well, i gotta go
but my friend can stick around”
[chorus: levon helm & richard manuel and rick danko]
take a load off f+nny
take a load for free
take a load off of f+nny
and (and) you put the load right on me (you put the load right on me)

[verse 3: levon helm]
go on down, miss moses
there ain’t nothin’ you can say
’cause it’s just old luke
and luke’s a+waitin’ on the judgement day
“well now, luke, my friend
what about young anna lee?”
he said, “do me a favour, son
won’t you stay and keep miss anna lee company?”

[chorus: levon helm & richard manuel and rick danko]
take a load off f+nny
take a load for free
take a load off of f+nny
and (and) you put the load right on me (you put the load right on me)

[verse 4: rick danko]
crazy chester followed me, yes
he caught me in the fog
he said, “i will fix your rack
if you take old 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 old chester whenever you can?”
come on
[chorus: levon helm & richard manuel and rick danko]
take a load off f+nny
take a load for free
take a load off of f+nny
and (and) you put the load right on me (you put the load right on me)

[verse 5: levon helm, rick danko]
catch a cannonball, now
to take me on down the line
’cause my back is sinking low
and i do believe that it’s time
to get back to miss f+nny
you know she’s the only one
she sent me here
with her regards for everyone
everyone knows

[chorus: levon helm & richard manuel and rick danko]
take a load off f+nny
take a load for free
take a load off of f+nny
and (and) you put the load right on me (you put the load right on me)
