The Weight (Live)

What're we doing? Ah

"What're we doing?" The name of our album is "What're we doing?"

I pulled in to Nazareth, was feeling about half past dead

I just need a place to go where I can lay my head

"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"

He just smiled 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) put the load right on me

Well, I packed my bags, I went looking for a place to hide

When I saw Carmen and the Devil by my side

I said, "Hey Carmen, come looking for a town to home?"

She said, "I gotta go but my friend can stick around"

Take a load off Fanny

Take a load for free

Take a load off Fanny

And (and, and) put the load right on me

I go down, Miss Moses, there ain't nothin' you could say

Well, it's just ol' Luke, and Luke, he's waitin' for Judgement Day

"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"

He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't ya go and keep Anna Lee company, yeah?"

Take a load off Fanny

Take a load for free

Take a load off Fanny

And (and, and) put the load (put the load) right on me

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in a fog

He said, "I'll fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog"

I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man"

He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can?"

Take a load off Fanny

Take a load for free

Take a load off Fanny

And (and, and) put the load (put the load) right on me

Catch a Cannonball to take me down the line

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 sends me here with her regard for everyone

Take a load off Fanny

Take a load for free

Take a load off Fanny

And (and, and) put the load (put the load) right on me

Put the load right on me, yeah

Put the load right on me
