lirik lagu the band - the weight (feat. the staple singers)
[verse 1 (levon helm)]
i pulled in to nazareth
was feeling ’bout half past dead
i just need someplace
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
“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 (you put the load right on me)
[verse 2 (mavis staples)]
i picked up my bags
i went looking for a place to hide
when i saw old 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
takе a load for free
take a load off, f~nny
and (and, and)
you put the load right on me (you put thе load right on me)
[verse 3 (roebuck “pops” staples)]
go down, moses
there’s nothin’ that you can say
’cause it’s ol’ luke, and
luke’s waitin’ on the judgement day
“hey, luke, my friend
what about young anna lee?”
he said, “do me a favor, son
won’t ya stay and keep anna lee company?”
[chorus]
take a load off, f~nny, well
take a load for free
take a load off, f~nny
and (and, and)
you put the load right on me (you put the load right on me)
[verse 4 (rick danko)]
crazy chester followed me
and he caught me in the fog
he said, “i will 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
won’t you feed him when you can?” (yeah)
[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 (you put the load right on me)
[guitar solo]
[verse 5 (levon helm, rick danko, mavis staples)]
catch a cannonball
to take me down the line
my bag is sinkin’ low
and i do believe it is time
to get back to miss f~nny
you know she’s the only one
she sent me here with her
regards for 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 (you put the load right on me)
