Letra de 'The Weight (feat. Mavis Staples and Nick Lowe)' de Wilco

... I can lay my head.
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a girl might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No!", was all he said.

Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny, and (and)
(and) you can put the load right on me.

I picked up my bags, I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side.
And I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown."
She said, "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around."

Take a load off Fanny (take a load), take a load for free (take a load)
Take a load off Fanny, yeah, and (and)
You can put the load right on me
Put the load on me, oh yeah

Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day.
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favour, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"

Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny, and (and)
(and) you can put the load right on me
Put the load on me, oh yeah

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."
"Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man."
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can."

Take a load off Fanny (take a load), take a load for free (take a load)
Take a load off Fanny, oh yeah, and (and)
(and) you can put the load right on me.
Put the load on me, oh yeah

Catch a cannon ball now, 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, yeah, and (and)
(and) you can put the load right on me
Put the load on me, oh yeah
Put the load, put the load, put the load on me
Put the load, put the load, put the load on me
Put the load, put the load, put the load...
