The Band - The Weight
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trhrN39li1M

I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' about half past dead;
I just need some place where I can lay my head.
"Mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No!", was all he said.

(Chorus:)
Take a load off Fannie, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fannie, And (and) (and) you can 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 m'friend can stick around."

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

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 favor, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"

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

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
He said, "I will fix your rags, if you'll take Jack, my dog."
I said, "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 Fannie, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fannie, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.

Catch a Cannonball, now, t'take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time.
To get back to Miss Annie, you know she's the only one.
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.

she is still a hooker

:hi:

1. There is... Cripple creek

For sport...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDnlU6rPfwY


When I get off of this mountain
You know where I want to go
Straight down the Mississippi river
To the Gulf of Mexico

/ A - / D - / A D / E - /

To Lake Charles, Louisiana
Little Bessie, girl that I once knew
And she told me just to come on by
If there's anything she could do

{Refrain}
Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
If I spring a leak she mends me
I don't have to speak she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

/ A - / D - / E - / F#m G - - /

Good luck had just stung me
To the race track I did go
She bet on one horse to win
And I bet on another to show

Odds were in my favor
I had him five to one
When that nag to win came around the track
Sure enough he had won

{Refrain}

I took up all of my winnings
And I gave my little Bessie half
And she tore it up and blew it in my face
Just for a laugh

Now there's one thing in the whole wide world
I sure would like to see
That's when that little love of mine
Dips her doughnut in my tea

{Refrain}

Now me and my mate were back at the shack
We had Spike Jones on the box
She said, "I can't take the way he sings
But I love to hear him talk"

Now that just gave my heart a throb
To the bottom of my feet
And I swore as I took another pull
My Bessie can't be beat

{Refrain}
Lo, lo, oo hoo...

Now, there's a flood out in California
And up north it's freezing cold
And this living off the road
Is getting pretty old

So I guess I'll call up my big mama
Tell her I'll be rolling in
But you know, deep down, I'm kinda tempted
To go and see my Bessie again

Weeeeee!

3. werds

Over by the wildwood
Dm
Hot summer night
Gm
We lay in the tall grass
C
til the mornin' light

If I had my way I'd never
get the urge to roam
But a young man serves his country
and an old man guards the home

Don't send me no distant salutations
or silly souvenirs from far away
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day

I never gave a second thought
Never crossed my mind
What's right, what's not
I ain't the judgin' kind
I can take the darkest oh
Storms in the skies
But we all got certain trials
burnin' up inside

Don't put me in a frame upon the mantle
For memories turn dusty, old, and gray
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day

Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Don't leave me alone in the twilight
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day

yup :)

4. and the time don't rescue me...

any more.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJXc0NRCmRQ

It makes no diff'rence where I turn
Em G/D Am7
I can't get over you and the flame still burns
C G/B
It makes no diff'rence, night or day
Em G/D Am7
The shadow never seems to fade away

Am7/D G Em7 C D G C
And the sun don't shine anymore
G Em7 C D G C G
And the rains fall down on my door


G
Now there's no love
Dm
As true as the love
C A7
That dies untold
G Em7 C D G C G
But the clouds never hung so low before


It makes no diff'rence how far I go
Like a scar the hurt will always show
It makes no diff'rence who I meet
They're just a face in the crowd
On a dead-end street
And the sun don't shine anymore
And the rains fall down on my door

These old love letters
Well, I just can't keep
'Cause like the gambler says
Read 'em and weep
And the dawn don't rescue me no more

D Bm
Without your love I'm nothing at all
C Cm
Like an empty hall it's a lonely fall
D Bm
Since you've been gone it's a losing battle
C
Stampeding cattle
Am D
They rattle the walls

And the sun don't shine anymore
And the rains fall down on my door

Well, I love you so much
It's all I can do
Just to keep myself from telling you
That I never felt so alone before

I'm sad I guess

:P

Now there's only one place that was meant for me:

==================================================
guitar finger picking:
|C|D|E| --and then quick the F chord below
==================================================

F Dm7 Dm/C Bb
Oh, to be home again,
F C
Down in old Virginny,
F Dm F Bb
With my very best friend,
F
They call him Ragtime Willie.
Dm Dm/C Bb

==================================

Slow down, Willie Boy,
Your heart's gonna give right out on you
It's true, and I believe I know what we should do.
Turn the stern and point to shore,
The seven seas won't carry us no more.

Oh, to be home again,
Down in old Virginny,
With my very best friend,
They call him Ragtime Willie.
I can't wait to sniff that air,
Dip'n snuff, I won't have no care,
That big Rockin' Chair won't go nowhere.

Hear the sound, Willie Boy,
The Flyin' Dutchman's on the reef.
It's my belief
We've used up all our time,
This hill's to steep to climb,
And the days that remain ain't worth a dime.

Oh, to be home again,
Down in old Virginny,
With my very best friend,
They call him Ragtime Willie.
Would-a-been nice just t'see the folks,
listen once again to the stale jokes,
That big Rockin' Chair won't go nowhere.

I can hear something calling on me

And you know where I want to be
Oh Willie don't you hear that sound

Oh to be home again down in old Virginny
I just want to get my feet back on the ground
Oh to be home again down in old Virginny

I'd love to see my very best friend
They call him Rag-time Willie

I believe old rockin chair's got me

Oh to be home again

Pickles!

11. By hooker, do you mean as in fishing?

Could be looker, not hooker also.

Fannie - that's the but again.
And taking a load off Fannie is standing.

not to condemn the world but to save it.
