The Weight |
Pulled into Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead |
I just needed some place where I can lay my head |
«Hey, mister, can you tell me, where a man might find a bed?» |
He just smiled 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 (and) (and) you put the load (you put the load) right on me |
Picked up my bags, I went looking for a place to hide |
When I saw old Carmen and the Devil, walking side by side |
I said, «Hey Carmen, c’mon, let’s go downtown.» |
She said, «Well I gotta go, but my friend can stick around now.» |
Take a load off Fanny |
Take a load for free |
Take a load off Fanny |
And (and) (and) you put the load (you put the load) right on me |
Go down, Miss Moses, there’s a nothin' you can say |
It’s just old Luke, and Luke’s waiting on the judgment day |
Well Luke, my friend, what about young Annalee? |
He said, «Do me a favor, son, won’t you stay and keep a Miss Annalee company.» |
Take a load off Fanny |
Take a load for free |
Take a load off Fanny |
And (and) (and) you put the load (you put the load) right on me |
Crazy Chester followed me, and he took me in the fog |
Said, «I can fix your rack, if you just take Jack my dog» |
I said, «Wait a minute Chester, you know that I’m a peaceful man» |
He said, «That's okay, boy, won’t you feed him when you can.» |
Take a load off Fanny |
Take a load for free |
Take a load off Fanny |
And (and) (and) you put the load (you put the load) right on me |
Yeah- oooh |
Oh catch the cannonball, and take me on down the line |
My bag is sinking low, and I do believe it’s time |
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know that 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) (and) you put the load (you put the load) right on me |
Put the load right on me |
Put the load, put the load |
