The Weight (3/11/1987 at Klein Auditorium, Bridgeport, CT)

I pulled into Nazareth, and I was feelin' about half past dead
I trying 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

Take a load off Fanny

cnd (and, and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)

I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw Miss Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side
I told her, "Hey, Carmen, come on let's shake it downtown."
She said, "I gotta go but my friend can stick around."

Go down, Miss Moses, aint' nothin' that you can say
It's just old Luke and Luke's, and he's waitin' on the Judgment Day
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young cnna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep cnna Lee company?"

Crazy Chester followed me and 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 OK, boy, won't you feed him when you can?"

Yeah, take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny

Gonna catch me cannon ball now to take me down the line
You know 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 down here tonight with her regards for everyone

Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
