This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I rode in to Nazareth, was feeling about half past dead
I just need someplace where I could lay my head
I said, "Hey 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.
Take a load off Fanny,
Take a load for free,
Take a load off Fanny,
And (and, and,) you put the load (push the load) right on me.
I packed up my bags, I went looking for place to hide,
Then I saw Carmen and the Devil, walking side-by-side.
I said, "Hey Carmen, c'mon 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 (push the load) right on me.
Go down Miss Moses, there's ain't nothing you can say
It's just Old Luke, and Luke's waiting on the Judgement 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 (push the load) right on me.
Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog.
He said, "I'll fix you right, if you take Jack, my dog."
I said, "Hey 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."
Take a load off Fanny,
Take a load for free,
Take a load off Fanny,
And (and, and,) you put the load (push the load) right on me.
Gonna catch the Cannonball, now, to take me down the line.
My back is sinking 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,

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Magical
Ed Sheeran

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
So... I'm guessing the Dead covered this song? If so, I've never heard their version.
I do like The Band's version, though.
