The Weight
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 Annie, take a load for free
Take a load off Annie and
(And, and)
You can 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 m'friend can stick around"
Take a load off Annie, take a load for free
Take a load off Annie and
(And, and)
You can 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 Judgement Day
Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?
He said, "Do me a favor, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"
Take a load off Annie, take a load for free
Take a load off Annie and
(And, and)
You can 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"
Take a load off Annie, take a load for free
Take a load off Annie and
(And, and)
You can put the load right on me
Catch a cannon ball now, t'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
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 Annie, take a load for free
Take a load off Annie and
(And, and)
You can 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 m'friend can stick around"
Take a load off Annie, take a load for free
Take a load off Annie and
(And, and)
You can 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 Judgement Day
Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?
He said, "Do me a favor, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"
Take a load off Annie, take a load for free
Take a load off Annie and
(And, and)
You can put the load right on me
Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog

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"
Take a load off Annie, take a load for free
Take a load off Annie and
(And, and)
You can put the load right on me
Catch a cannon ball now, t'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
