The Weight

I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead
I just need to find a place where I can lay my head
"Mister, won't you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook his head, "No" was all he said

Now go down, Moses, there aint nothin' that you can say
Well it's just ol' Luke and Luke's waitin' on Judgment Day
"Hey, Luke, my friend, how 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

I picked up my bags, and 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

Catch a cannon ball now to take me on down the line
'Cause my bag is sinkin' low and I do believe that 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
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
