The Weight

I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling about half past dead I Just need some place here 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 and "no" was all he said Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free Take a load off Fanny And (and) you put the load right on me I picked up my bags, went lookin' for a place to hide When I saw ol' 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) you put the load right on me Go down Moses, there's nothin' that you can say It's just ol' Luke and Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day "Well Luke my friend, what 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) you put the load right on me Catch a cannon ball now to take me on down the line My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time (just about time) 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) you put the load right on me
