Jackie Deshannon - The Weight lyrics

I pulled in to Nazareth

I was feeling bout half past dead

I just need some place

Where I can lay my head

Hey, mister, can you tell me

Where can I find a bed

He just grinned, 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 bag

I went looking for a place to hide

When I saw old Carmen and

The Devil walking side by side

Well, I said, hey, Carmen

Come on, let's go downtown

She said, I got to go

But my friend can stick aroundJackie Deshannon - The Weight - http://motolyrics.com/jackie-deshannon/the-weight-lyrics.html

(CHORUS)

Go down, Miss Moses

There's nothing you can say

It's just old Luke, and Luke is

Waiting on the judgement day

Well, Luke, my friend

What about young Anna Lee

He said, do me a favor, hon

Won't you stay and

Keep Anna Lee company

(CHORUS)

Get your cannonball now

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)
