The Weight

I pulled into Nazareth just a feelin bout a half past dead
I just need to find a place where I can lay my head
Mister can you tell me where a man might find a bed?
He just grinned and shook my hand and '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 and went lookin for a place to hide
When I saw old Carmen and the Devil walkin side by side
And I said, 'Hey Carmen, come on will you go downtown?'
She said, 'Well I gotta go but my friend can stick around anyhow'
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, aint nothin that you can say
Cause is just old Luke and Lukes waitin on the judgment day
Well now Luke my friend, what about young Anna Lee?
He said , 'Do me a favor son
Wont 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 yeah, and he caught me in the fog
He said, 'I would fix your rack, oh yeah if youll just take Jack, my dog'
I said , 'Wait a minute, Chester, you know I am a peaceful man'
He said, 'Thats okay, boy, wont you feed him when you can?'
Wont ya 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
Cause my bagis sinkin low and I do believe its time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know shes the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
I want you to take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
