    #TexasHill #TheWeight
    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 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)
    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 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)
    Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
    It's just ol' 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'tcha 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'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"
    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)

    Your sound together...it feels like sliding on my favorite pairs of broken in boots and jeans ...it fits my music soul like a glove. It’s not just the acoustics in the hallway...it’s all of you, as one. ❤️🎶

    Y'all did Levon, Rick, and Richard proud on this one - I'm sure Robbie and Garth would approve, too. One of my most favorite songs - done with respect and talent.
    Now to listen to it again - then share it!

    Texas Hill is better every time we hear them. What a humble group of guys and put on such a fun show. Incredible harmonies and great songs. "Use what you got" Had the chance to buy their supper before the show. Even got the coolest set list I've ever seen. I have a big collection of these but never seen one written on a paper plate. Keep it up TH!! Big fan here.

      I’ll be flying from New Orleans to Texas in November for the WKK show 9/13 outside Dallas and then on to the Houston area for The Woodlands show on 9/15. They are just sooo worth the trip!

    Great, great sound. The hall echos add the same touch as the production reverb. But the last 2 verses??

    • @davekennedy8626
      @davekennedy8626 Рік тому

      Yeah, would have been great if the guys had finished the song. It tells a story and they left out the ending. (Got a few words wrong on the first verse, too, but even I would agree that would be nitpicking.) Really nice sound, though.

    What tuning is this in? I have been jamming to some of y'alls other songs and it seems im always playing a half step down from what key I initially thought it was in. Sounds amazing!!

      Have you tried a capo on a higher fret? Hope you're still playing!
