The Weight - Live at LA Forum, Inglewood, CA - February 1974

I pulled into Nazareth just a feelin' 'bout a 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 and "No" was all he said
 Take a load off Fanny
 Take a load for free
 Take a load off Fanny
 And you put the load right on me
 I picked up my bag and went lookin' for a place to hide
 When I saw old Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side
 And I said, "Hey Carmen, come on will you go downtown?"
 She said, "Well I gotta go but my friend can stick around anyhow"
 Take a load off Fanny
 Take a load for free
 Take a load off Fanny
 And you put the load right on me
 Go down Miss Moses, ain't nothin' that you can say
 'Cause is just old Luke and Luke's waitin' on the judgment day
 Well now Luke my friend, what about young Anna Lee?
 He said, "Do me a favor son
 Won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company?"
 Take a load off Fanny
 Take a load for free
 Take a load off Fanny
 And you put the load right on me
 Crazy Chester followed me yeah, and he caught me in the fog
 He said, "I would fix your rack, oh yeah if you'll just take Jack, my dog"
 I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I am a peaceful man"
 He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can?"
 Won't ya take a load off Fanny?
 Take a load for free
 Take a load off Fanny
 And you put the load right on me
 Catch a cannon ball now, to take me down the line
 'Cause 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 here with her regards for everyone
 I want you to take a load off Fanny
 Take a load for free
 Take a load off Fanny
 And you put the load right on me
