The Band - The Weight (Live-1970)

Syria Mosque - Pittsburgh Nov 1970 Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Robbie Robertson, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel I pulled into nazareth, 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. Take a load off fanny, take a load for free; Take a load off fanny, 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. 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? Crazy chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog. He said, I will fix your rack, 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. Catch a cannon ball now, ttake me down the line My bag is sinkin low and I do believe its time. To get back to miss fanny, you know shes the only one. Who sent me here with her regards for everyone"
