lirik lagu mavis staples & levon helm - the weight
[verse 1: mavis staples]
i pulled into nazareth, i was feeling about half past dead
just needed to find a place where i can lay my head
mister, can you tell me where a girl might find a bed
he just grinned and shook my hand, “no” was all he said
[chorus]
take a load off, f~nny
take a load for free
take a load off, f~nny
(and, and, and) you put the load right on me
oh yeah
[verse 2: mavis staples & levon helm]
i picked up my bag, i went looking for a place to hide
when i saw carmen and the devil walking side by side
i said, “hey, carmen, come on let’s go downtown”
she said, “i gotta go but my friend can stick around”
[chorus]
take a load off, f~nny
take a load for free
take a load off, f~nny

[chorus]
take a load off, f~nny

crazy chester followed me, he caught me in the fog
he said, “i will fix your rack if you’ll take old jack, my dog”
“hey, wait a minute, chester, you know i am a peaceful man”
he said, “that’s okay, just feed him whenever you can now”
[chorus]

gonna catch a cannon ball now to take me on down the line

to get back to miss f~nny, you know she’s the only one
f~nny sent me down here tonight with her regards for everyone (everyone)
[chorus]
take a load off, f~nny
take a load for free
take a load off, f~nny
(and, and, and) you put the load right on me
[outro: mavis staples]
oh yeah, oh yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
