The Weight |
| I pulled in to Nazareth |
| I was feeling 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 |
| (CHORUS) |
| 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 looking for a place to hide |
| When I saw old Carmen and |
| The Devil walking 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 |
| (CHORUS) |
| Go down, Miss Moses |
| There’s nothing you can say |
| It’s just old Luke, and Luke is |
| Waiting 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 |
| (CHORUS) |
| Get your cannonball now |
| Take me down the line |
| My bag is sinking 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 |
| (CHORUS) |
