The Weight
Robertson
I pulled in to Nazareth, was feeling 'bout 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 you put the load right on me.
I picked up my bag, I went looking for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walking 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 you put the load right on me.
Go down Miss Moses, there's 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 favour 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 you put the load right on me.
Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
He said 'I will fix your rat if you'll take Jack my dog'
I said '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?'.
Yeah, take a load off, Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny and you put the load right on me.
Catch a cannonball now to take me down the line
My bag 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, take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny and you put the load right on me.
I pulled in to Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead
I just need some place where I can lay my head

Take a load off, Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny and you put the load right on me.

Take a load off, Fanny and you put the load right on me.
