The Weight - TFDI

I pulled into Nazareth

I was feelin' about half past dead

Just need to find a place

Where I can lay my head

Hey mister can you tell me

Where a man might find a bed

He just grinned and shook

My hand and No was all he said

Take a load off Anny

Take a load for free

Take a load off Anny

And you put the load right on me

(You put the load right on me)

I picked up my bag

And I went lookin' for a place to hide

When I saw Carmen and the Devil

Walkin' side by side

And I said Hey Carmen come on

Would you go downtown

And she said Well I gotta go

But my friend can stick around

And take a load off Anny

Take a load for free

Take a load off Anny

And you put the load right on me

(You put the load right on me)

Go down Miss Moses

There ain't nothin' that you can say

'Cause just ol' Luke and Luke's

Waitin' on the Judgment Day

Well now Luke my friend

What about young Anna Lee

He said Do me a favor son

Won't you stay an' keep Anna Lee company

Take a load off Anny

Take a load for free

Take a load off Anny

And you put the load right on me

(You put the load right on me)

Crazy Chester followed me

And he caught me in the fog

He said I will fix your rags

If you'll take Jack my dog

I said Wait a minute Chester

You know I'm a peaceful man

He said That's okay boy

Won't you feed him when you can

Take a load off Anny

Take a load for free

Take a load off Anny

And you put the load right on me

(You put the load right on me)

Catch a Cannonball now

To take me down the line

My my bag is sinkin' low

And I do believe it's time

To get back to Miss Anny

You know she's the only one

Who sent me here

With her regards for everyone

Take a load off Anny

Take a load for free

Take a load off Anny

And you put the load right on me

(You put the load right on me)
