The Weight (live)
Lyrics

"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

I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' about half past dead

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

I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' about half past dead
Go down, Miss Moses, there ain't nothin' that you can say

He said, "I will fix your rags, if you'll take Jack, my dog"
You put the load on me
Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
Say you will keep Anna Lee company?"
He just grinned and shook my hand, "No", was all he said
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, I'm a peaceful man"
Take a load off Fannie
He said, "Do me a favor, son
Put the load on me

I picked up my bags, I went lookin' for a place to hide
I just need some place, where I can lay my head
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown"
Go down, Miss Moses, there ain't nothin' that you can say
Won'tcha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
