The Weight |
I pulled into Nazareth, I 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 girl might find a bed?» |
He just grinned and shook my hand, and «No,"was all he said. |
Take a load off Annie, take a load off for free; |
Take a load off Annie, And (and) (and) put the weight 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, let’s go downtown.» |
She said, «Well I gotta go, but m’friend can stick around.» |
Take a load off Annie, take a load off for free; |
Take a load off Annie, And (and) (and) put the weight on me. |
Go down, Moses, there’s nothin' that you can say |
It’s just like ol' Luke waitin', waitin' on Judgement Day. |
«Well, Luke, my friend, what about Anna Lee?» |
He said, «Do me a favour, stay an' keep Anna Lee some company.» |
Take a load off Annie, take a load off for free; |
Take a load off Annie, And (and) (and) put the weight on me. |
Catch me a cannon ball, now take me on down the line |
My bag is sinkin' low, and I believe that it’s about time. |
To get in touch with Annie, you know she’s the one. |
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone? |
Take a load off Annie, take a load off for free; |
Take a load off Annie, And (and) (and) put the weight on me. |
