the band - the weight - live at woodstock, 8/17/69 lyrics

[verse 1]
i pulled into nazareth, i was feelin’ ’bout half+past dead
i just need to find 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 f+nny
take a load for free
take a load off f+nny
and you put the load right on me (and, and, you put the load right on me)

[verse 2]
i picked up my bags, i went looking for a place to hide
when i saw ol’ carmen and the devil walkin’ side+by+side
i said, “hey, carmen, come on, let’s go downtown”
she said, “well, i gotta go, but my friend can stick around”

[chorus]
take a load off f+nny
take a load for free
take a load off f+nny
and you put the load right on me (and, and, you put the load right on me)

[verse 3]
a+go down, miss moses, there ain’t nothin’ that you can say
it’s just ol’ luke and luke’s waitin’ on a+judgement day
“well, 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]
take a load off f+nny
take a load for free
take a load off f+nny
and you put the load right on me (and, and, you put the load right on me)

[verse 4: rick danko & levon helm]
crazy chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
he said, “i will fix your rack if you just take jack my dog” (and what did you say?)
i said, “wait a minute, chester, you know i’m a peaceful man”
he said, “that’s okay, boy, won’t you feed chester whenever you can?” (i want you to)

[chorus]
take a load off f+nny
take a load for free
take a load off f+nny
and you put the load right on me (and, and, you put the load right on me)

[instrumental break]

[verse 5]
a+catch a cannonball, now, to take me down the line
my back is sinkin’ low and i do believe it’s time
to get back to miss f+nny, you know she’s the only one
who sent me here with her regards for everyone
i want you to
[chorus]
take a load off f+nny
take a load for free
take a load off f+nny
and you put the load right on me (and, and, you put the load right on me)
