The Weight
I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' 'bout half past dead
I just need some place, oh, 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 (put the load right on me)
I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide
I saw Carmen and the Devil, oh, walkin' side by side
Said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, oh, 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 (put the load right on me)
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothing that you can say
It's just old 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, won't you stay and keep Anna Lee some company?"
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 (put the load right on me)
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
And take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me (put the load right on me)
Catch a cannonball now, oh, to 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, oh, 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 (put the load right on me)
I just need some place, oh, 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 (put the load right on me)
I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide
I saw Carmen and the Devil, oh, walkin' side by side
Said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, oh, 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 (put the load right on me)
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothing that you can say
It's just old 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, won't you stay and keep Anna Lee some company?"
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 (put the load right on me)
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
And take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me (put the load right on me)
Catch a cannonball now, oh, to 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, oh, 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 (put the load right on me)
