Lyrics: The Weight - The Band

(see the full lyrics and significance at [minstrels] The Weight -- Jaime 'Robbie' Robertson)

I pulled into Nazareth, I was feeling about half past dead;
I just needed 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, and 'No' was all he said.
