Grateful Dead - The Weight Lyrics
I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past DEADI just need some place where I can lay my headHey, mister, can you tell me, where a man might find a bedHe just grinned and shook my hand, "No" was all he said.Take a load off Fanny, take a load for freeTake a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on meI picked up my bags, I went looking for a place to hideThen I saw old Carmen and the devil walking side by sideI said, "Hey Carmen, c'mon, let's go downtown"She said, "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around"ChorusGo down, Miss moses, ain't nothin you can sayIt's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on judgement dayWell, Luke, my friend, what about young AnnaleeHe said, "Do me a favor, so, won't you stay and keep Annalee comapany"ChorusCrazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fogsaid, "I will fix your rag, if you'll take Jack, my dog"I said, "Wait a minute Chester-you know, I'm a peaceful man"He said, "That's ok, boy, won't you feed him when you can"ChorusGet you cannonball, now to take me down the lineMy bag is sinking low, and I do believe it's timeTo get back to miss Fanny, you know she's the only oneWho sent me here, with her regards for everyoneChorus
