The Weight

I pulled in to Nazareth was feelin' 'bout a half past dead I just need some place where I can lay my head Hey mister, can you tell me where a girl might find a bed He just grinned and shook my hand, no was all he said Take a load off Fanny, take the load for free Take a load off Fanny and, and, and you put the load right on me I picked up my bag I went lookin' 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 the load for free Take a load off Fanny and, and, and you put the load right on me Go down Moses there's nothing you can say It's just old Luke waiting, waiting on the judgement day Well Luke my friend what about Anna Lee He said do me a favor stay and keep Anna Lee from company Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free Take a load off Fanny and, and, and you put the weight on me Catch me a cannonball now take me on down the line My bag is sinking low and I believe that it's about time Get in touch with Fanny you know that she's the 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, take a load for free Take a load off Fanny
