THE WEIGHT
I pulled into 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 man 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
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 stick around
Go down miss 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 Anna Lee
He said do me a favor son
Won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company
Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the barn
He said I'll fix you right if you'll take Jack my dog
I said wait a minute Chester now I'm a peaceful man
He said that's alright boy
Just feed him when you can
Catch a cannonball gonna take me on down the line
My bag is sinking low and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny you know she's the only one
Who sent me here
With her regards for everyone
