The Weight Lyrics

I pulled in to Nazareth was feelin' 'bout 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 the load off Fanny, take the load for free

Take the 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't stick around

Take the load off Fanny, take the load for free

Take the 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 and Luke's 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 the load off Fanny, take the load for free

Take the load off Fanny and, and, and you put the load right on me



Catch me a cannonball now take me on down the line

My bag is sinking low and I do believe it's time

Get in touch with Fanny you know she's the only 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 and, and, and
