The Band - The Weight (1969) I pulled into Nazareth, I 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 Fannie, take a load for free; Take a load off Fannie, 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, lets go downtown. She said, I gotta go, but mfriend can stick around. (Chorus) Go down, Miss Moses, theres nothin you can say Its just ol Luke, and Lukes 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 rags, if youll take Jack, my dog. I said, Wait a minute, Chester, you know Im a peaceful man. He said, Thats okay, boy, wont you feed him when you can. (Chorus) Catch a Cannonball, now, ttake me down the line My bag is sinkin low and I do believe its time. To get back to Miss Annie, you know shes the only one. Who sent me here with her regards for everyone. Note: The Weight, as originally recorded by The Band for their 1968 debut album Music From Big Pink, was used in the film but could not be licensed for the soundtrack. To deal with this, ABC-Dunhill commissioned Smith, who recorded for the label at the time, to record a cover version of the song for the soundtrack album.Good ole song from days gone bye!! vimeo/17987000
