Lyric The weight

I pulled into Nazareth

I was feelin about 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 a load for free

Take a load off Fanny

And (and) (and) put the weight on me



I picked up my bag

I went lookin for a place to hide

When I saw Carmen and the Devil

Walkin side by side

I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let s go downtown"

She said, "I gotta go, but m friend can stick around"



Take a load off Fanny

Take a load for free

Take a load off Fanny

And (and) (and) put the weight on me



Go down, Moses

There ain t nothin for you to say

It s just ol Luke

And Luke s waitin on the Judgment Day

"Well, Luke, my friend

What about young Anna Lee?"

He said, "Do me a favor

Stay an keep Anna Lee company."



Take a load off Fanny

Take a load for free

Take a load off Fanny

And (and) (and) put the weight on me



Fetch me a cannon ball

Now take me on down the line

May bag is sinkin low

And I believe it s about time

To get in touch with me

You know she s the one

He said, "Honey, regards for everyone."



Take a load off Fanny

Take a load for free

Take a load off Fanny

And (and) (and) put the weight on me
