The Weight |
|
I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling '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. |
|
{Chorus} |
|
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free |
|
Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me |
|
I picked up my bags, I went looking for a place to hide |
|
Then I saw old Carmen and the devil walking side by side |
|
I said, "Hey, Carmen, c'mon, let's go downtown" |
|
She said, "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around" |
|
{Chorus} |
|
Go down, miss Moses, ain't nothin' you can say |
|
It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on the judgement day |
|
Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Annalee |
|
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep Annalee company" |
|
{Chorus} |
|
Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog |
|
Said, "I will fix your rag, if you;ll take Jack, my dog" |
|
I said, "Wait a minute Chester - you know, I'm a peaceful man" |
|
He said, "That's ok, boy, won't you feed him when you can" |
|
{Chorus} |
|
Get your cannonball, now to take me 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 |
|
{Chorus} |
