The Weight

I pulled in to Nazareth was feeling `bout half past dead I just need some place where I could 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 Go down Miss Moses there`s nothing that you can say It`s just old Luke waiting on the judgement day Well Luke my friend what about young Anna-Lee He said Do me a favour son won`t 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 Catch a cannonball 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 I 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 Take a load off Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off Fanny Put the weight on me Take a load off Fanny Put the weight on me
