The Weight

Pulled into Nazareth I was feelin' about half past dead I just need some place Where I could 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 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 lets go to town 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 Go down, Miss Moses There's nothin' 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'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 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 Yeah, take a load off fanny Take a load for free Take a load off fanny And you put the load right on me Catch a cannon ball now To take me down the line My bag is sinkin' low And I do believe it's time To get me back to Miss Fanny You know she's the only one Who sent me here With her regards to everyone Take a load off fanny Take a load for free Take a load off fanny And you put the load right on me
