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
