The Weight

I pulled in to Nazareth I was feelin' 'bout half-past dead I just need some place Where I can lay my head Hey, mister, can you tell me Where can I find a bed? He just grinned, 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 Got my bag I went lookin' for a place to hide When I saw old Carmen and the Devil Walkin' side by side Well, 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 you put the load right on me Go down, Miss Moses There's nothin' you can say It's just old Luke, and Luke is Waitin' on the Judgement Day "Well, Luke, my friend What about young Anna Lee?" He said "Do me a favor, hon Won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company?" Take a load off Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off Fanny And you put the load right on me Get your cannonball now To take me down the line Well, 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 Take a load off Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off Fanny And you put the load right on me
