The Weight

I pulled into Nazareth, I was feeling 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 and 'No' was all he said
Take the load off Fanny, take the load for free
Take the load off Fanny and hey, yeah, put the weight on me
I picked up my bag, I went looking for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the devil walkin side by side
I said, 'Hey Carmen, cmon, lets go downtown'
She said,'I gotta go but my friend can stick around'
Take the load off Fanny, take the load for free
Take the load off Fanny and yeah
And yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, put the weight on me
Go down Moses, theres nothin that you can say
Its just old Luke waiting, waiting on the Judgment Day
Well, Luke, my friend, what about Annalee?
He said, 'Do me a favor, stay and keep Annalee some company'
Take the load off Fanny, take the load for free
Take the load off Fanny and and and yeah, put the weight on me
Catch me a cannonball, now take me on down the line
My bag is sinkin low and I believe that its about time
To get in touch with Fanny, you know shes the one
Who sent me here, with her regards for everyone
Take the load off Fanny, take the load for free
Take the load off Fanny, take the load for free
Take the load off Fanny, take the load for free
Take the load off Fanny , take the load for free
