The Weight - Rickie Lee Jones

作词：Robbie Robertson

作曲：Robbie Robertson

I pulled into Nazareth

I was feelin' about half past dead

And I needed a place to go

Where I could just lay my head

Hey mister can you tell me

Where I might find a bed

He just grinned and shook my hand

No was all he said

So take a load of Fanny

Take a load for free

Take a load of Fanny

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

And I said hey Carmen

Come on girl let's just go downtown

She said no I have to

Run but a friend can stick around

So take a load of Fanny

Take a load for free

Yeah

Take a load of Fanny

And you put the load right on me

Crazy Chester follow me

And he caught me there in a fog

And he said I will fix your rack

If you'll take jack my dog

And I said hey wait a minute Chester

I love a peaceful man

He said that's okay my brother

You just feed him when you can

I'll take a load of Fanny

I'll take a load for free

Take a load of Fanny

Hey hey yeah

Just put the load right on me

So go down mister Moses

There's nothin' you can say

It's just ol' Luke

And Luke just waitin' on the judgement day

Well Luke my friend

What about lad Anna Lee

He says do me a favor

Could you stay and keep Anna Lee company

Take a load of Fanny

Take a load for free

Take a load of Fanny

Yeah hey hey

Put the load right on me

Oh my

Yeah

Now catch the cannon ball

To take me down the line

'Coz my bag was sinkin' low

Where I believe it's time

To get back to miss Fanny

You know she was the only one

Who sent me back here

With her regards for everyone

So take a load of Fanny

Take a load for free

Take a load of Fanny

Yeah hey hey

Put the load right on me

Right on me

Ohh ooh

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Just put it right on me

Ohhh hoo hoo
