The Weight Live at Giants Stadium East Rutherford NJ June 17 1991
[Verse 1: Jerry Garcia]
I rode in to Nazareth, I was feeling about half past dead
I just need a place where I could lay my head
Said, "Mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand and "No" is all he said

[Chorus: Grateful Dead]
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (And, and) you put the load (Put your load right on me)

[Verse 2: Bruce Hornsby]
I packed up my bags, I went looking for place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walking side-by-side
I said, "Hey Carmen, come on, won't you go downtown."
She said, "Well, I gotta go but my friend can stick around."

[Chorus: Grateful Dead]
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (And, and) you put the load (Put your load right on me)
[Verse 3: Phil Lesh]
Go down Miss Mosеs, there is nothing that you can say
It's just Old Luke, and Lukе's waiting on the Judgement Day
Well, Luke, my friend, what about Miss Anna Lee?
"Do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company."

[Chorus: Grateful Dead]
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (And, and) you put the load (Put your load right on me)

[Verse 4: Bob Weir]
Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
He says, "I'll fix you right, if you'll kiss Jack, my dog."
I said, "Hey, wait a minute, Chester. You know I'm a peaceful man."
He says, "That's okay, boy, you just feed him when you can."

[Chorus: Grateful Dead]
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and, and,) you put the load (Put your load right on me)

[Verse 5: Grateful Dead]
Gonna catch the Cannonball, gonna take me down the line
My bags are sinking low and I do believe it's time
I went back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Who left me here with her regards for everyone
[Chorus: Grateful Dead]
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (And, and) you put the load (Put your load right on me)
