The Weight - The Band
I pulled into Nazareth
Was feeling about half past dead
I just need some place
Where I can 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 looking for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen
And the Devil walking side by side
I said Hey Carmen
Come on let's go downtown
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
You put the load right on me
Go down Miss Moses
There's nothing you can say
It's just ol Luke
And Luke's waiting on the Judgment Day
Well Luke my friend
What about young Anna Lee
He said Do me a favor son
Wongtcha 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
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
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 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
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
You put the load right on me
