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 Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And, (and), (and)
You put the load right on me
Picked up my bag
I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw old Carmen and the Devil
Walkin' side by side
I said Hey Carmen
Come on let's go downtown
She said "I got to 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
Go down Miss Moses
There's nothin' you can say
It's just old Luke and Luke's
Waitn' on the Judgement Day
Well Luke my friend
What about young Anna Lee
He said "Do me a favour 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
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 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 right on me
Catch a cannonball
Now to take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' low
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, (and), (and)
You put the load right on me
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 Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And, (and), (and)
You put the load right on me
Picked up my bag
I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw old Carmen and the Devil
Walkin' side by side
I said Hey Carmen
Come on let's go downtown
She said "I got to 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
Go down Miss Moses
There's nothin' you can say
It's just old Luke and Luke's
