Band, The - The Weight Lyrics
I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead
I just need some place 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
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and, and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on let's go downtown."
She said, "I gotta go but my friend can stick around."
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and, and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just old Luke and Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company?"
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and, and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
He said, "I will fix your rack if you 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?"
Yeah, take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and, and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
Catch a cannon ball now 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 sent me here with her regards for everyone
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and, and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)

Band, The The Weight Comments
Pimp Slapped
brokemyhip what an awasome thing im sure ur father is so prod of his son to share this im thankful peace
Listening 2020 anyone? 😏
*Robert Pattinson is looking on point in the middle with that Mustache.*
I love The Band!!!!!
Oi Josuke! I read the comment section and now I’m crying! Could you please heal my broken heart with your [Crazy Diamond]?
I LOVE THIS BLAST TO MY PAST TUNE..."YOU PUT THE LOAD RIGHT ON ME"
Everyone should do that. My mom was in a medical induced coma, but i knew she could hear. The doctors came in with the depressing news that they didn't think she was going to make it, so i put my cd player on her ears bc i didn't want her to hear them, it was her favorite Clapton & she made a face & i knew she was happier. She needed a pacemaker & died in surgery with my headphones on.
I am a 37 year old black man that almost exclusively listens to hip hop but this song really touches something in my soul
I'm sure there are plenty of songs I'd say this might be my favorite while listening to them ... this is one of them and right now after listening again is my favorite!
THE BEST SOUND TRACK OF WOODSTOCK,NEW YORK...1969
Patricia Dorsaneo ehehehe thats a sex number
Nothing compares to these Days !!!!#
After my mom died and my dad left, my older brother was all I had left. We started living in an abandoned house, and my brother started getting into archery. But after a while, my brother was killed by a Electric chicken, and I met a silver haired midget and a fellow high school student with a weird haircut. We became best friends, but then we started chasing after a hand loving serial killer, and I almost got killed by a flower. But after that, I won a lot of money from a lottery ticket, and started getting my life together again. I am now living together with The flower that almost killed me and my dad who is now slime monster, in my peaceful hometown.
*furiously swipes hand and erases u*
My dad and I would sing this song when he'd take me with him in his old truck...i couldnt of been more than 5 yrs old then and Hed throw in the 8 track...and I'd belt those lyrics out so loud and he'd roar and laugh...My dad wasn't a huge laugher but looking back those were the best times of my life...he died when I was 13...I'm missing him today...this song makes me smile...See u on the other side Dad ❤
Thank you for sharing. It was beautiful.
2019 was EASY RIDER'S 50th anniversary......R.I.P. Dennis Hopper........
Did not realize that. Easy Rider was the first VHS tape I ever bought.

Thanks, MrChris for the upload. One of my favs. 81 years and going strong!
This song is wonderful oh geez
I'm do fucked up I love this song
In all seriousnes which one is Clapton?
I heard this song from the movie 1408.
I can’t listen to this without being sad. I have no emotional or personal connection to the song, it just has an underlying sadness
💖💚😁🙋♀️
A perfect record in every way
*Easy Rider!*
This should be a christmas song...
Did you listen to their "Christmas Must Be Tonight:?
Thumbs up if your are still enjoying this masterpiece in 2020
Easy rider brought me hear,, timeless masterpiece
😊 happy holidays everyone 2019 dec 22...
😁🙋♀️🌹
This is perfect music to just lay back and burn one over or two lol
This song is good and could never find til now
I am checking out of this twisted F'd up society and this is the song I choose.
Wait, you're dying–?
These boys were so real and down to earth. The Last Waltz is a great way to get to know them, and a great movie. This song is one of my all time favorites and has been for as long as I can remember.
This song was so perfect for the cult classic Easy Rider!!
Rest in peace Peter Fonda.....
The best travel song-great group...........different time,different place....☮️🔛🌎
This is one of the greatest rock and roll songs ever made. I'm 60 and I loved this as a kid 💘 it more now. The Band were just awesome.
this is what talent sounds like
Pretty similiar chord progression as Dylan's Girl from the North Country, no?
🎻🎻🎻 🌎☮ 🎻🎻🎻
This song will remain enshrined in the history of Rock Music for numerous millenniums to come...
Saw The Band for the first time in 1973 and this became my favorite song of theirs, nothing has changed!
beautiful. COULD JUST LOOP THIS SONG ALL DAY LONG.
Quelle super chanson! L'amour et la paix pour toutes et tous! Bonne nuit !
I would love to have this song sung at my funeral.
I miss my dad this was his jam sorry people
Thank you everybody
God I'm miss running the plow. #USMC
*O I J O S U K E*
was a kid when easy rider came out and loved this song
Chuck brought me here
I'm just sitting in a hotel in a far away place from a stupid decision. And I think I knew when I rolled into town, I shouldn't have come.
Oi Josuke,
I used [Za hando] to erase all these Jojo Comments on these random videos, (I know the musical references ok?)ain't that Crazy,Josuke? Maybe more crazy than your [Crazy Diamond],ain't that right,Josuke.
Compare this to Black and Wigger Rap, there is no comparison (period)
'I said wait a minute Chester'.....I love the way he sings that phrase! ❤😊
Well, Chester WAS crazy.
Thanks, Mr Chris
Imagine the privilege of being able to say you wrote this song.
REAL TALK!!!!
great tunes live on
good song

Bon ça peut durer longtemps mdrr mais voilà, bon anniv !
Ça te fais une mini playlist si t'as 15 min devant toi !
Bob Dylan couldn't have chosen a better band to tour with him in the mid 60s
They got a good start as the Hawks, backing Ronnie Hawkins.
Googies looking 4 detail sometimes, know the time the following yaer was more dangerous in those days of American weight said the po boy fancy free home, b.o.w. ..--Bwaaaaa 0:31
Love the guy singing at 2:38 2:38
His voice was always awesome to me
Sem demagogia, quando eu escuto estas músicas sinto saudades do que eu não vivi
Starsky and hutch
Wait a minute Chester ♥️
Biautiful music! Youg! Thaks!
Come here after listen a live version of greta van fleet and yola, so a beautiful song!!!
I wasn’t alive in the 60s or 70s , but sometimes songs like these make me dream of what it would be like to live in such a cool era .
I was. And you are right. It was a time of great peace and hope amidst the turmoil. The Band had a great heart. We are lucky to have all their great music. Thank you for listening and joining with all of us who thought this right from the start - just like you! :-)

*anyone in* _insert current year_
Not bashing on newer music at all. But will it produce this same emotive and powerfull feeling 50 years later?
Let's all get in our cars and put it in reverse to the 20th century, those were the best days EVER
za hando :(
Hey mister can ya tell me ✌️😘🌈😎
Get Together, by The Youngbloods.
The Band’s The Weight is simply gorgeous
To Brokemyhip: Your account stabbed me in the heart. Extremely touching and from your heart. I commend you for having such a depth of SINCERE feeling for your Dad, because I'm something of a cynic and at least a 3rd or 2nd order skeptic about people still having real feelings for one another; especially for family members. I can relate to your feelings: I lost my Dad on Mar. 1, 1986. But I never got to see him before he passed away. No matter where I was in the world, even with 6 AM calls to my parents, (on their time)DAD & MOM were there on the end of the line. My sister called me the day Dad died; seemed like it was her appointed duty to be the bearer of bad tidings. No matter where I was in the world at the time (in the USAF) She WOULD "find me" & call. I quote you ; "Miss you always Dad. See you on the flip side." AMEN. "Any Day Now, I shall Be Released." from these worldly burdens.
Met my wife in 68 while listening to this song . We are both 69 now and still playing the original album

I was fortunate enough to grow up in 60's-70's when bands were allowed tte freedom to explore new areas. AND THEY were Amazing .
They are still allowed the freedom, but those open areas of creation have pretty much closed up. So it's either repeat the past, or else-
The older i get 59 now the more i appreciate the GREAT fucklng MUSIC i grew up on
Hello from France
November Winter ❄️ 2019 taught me few more lessons !
Taking the biggest shit to this song
big al and the Heavyweights played this Song for me last night,loved it al,poppa.
My father's last night on earth was Dec 18 1997. I got the call he was being made to be comfortable. I walked in an knew it was going to the last night. This was one of his favorite songs. So I loaded my portable CD player and played this song using my headphones. I set the headphones are N top of his head. My father absolutely relished this song into his soul. This was a comfort that I could offer as it was my way of saying goodbye pops...he laid there smiling. It was an unexpecting surprise because very few people knew it was his favorite song. He passed away 4 hours. I hope that this song resonated through eternity though the outer limits of time. Miss you always Dad. See you on the flip side.
God bless Great song Weldonev I'm sure No Doubt your Fathet Appreciated that touches my heart from old 1st Cav Soldier ,talk to ya anytime been 2 years hope your adjusting. Best ya can Take it to God 👍👍👍
@Amy Gwenn I hope someone can do that for you. This is the best comment I've ever seen.
Your a beautiful cat...The good son..
