The Weight

I pulled into Nazareth I was feeling about half past dead

I just need some place where I can lay my head

Hey mister can you tell me where a girl might find a bed

He just grinned and shook my hand and no was all he said

Take a load off Annie take a load off for free

Take a load off Annie and hey yeah

Put the weight on me

I picked up my bag I went looking 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

Take a load off Annie take a load off for free

Take a load off Annie and yeah and yeah yeah yeah yeah

Put the weight on me

Go down moses there's nothing that you can say

It's just like ol' Luke waiting waiting on Judgment Day

Well luke my friend what about Anna Lee

He said do me a favor stay and keep Anna Lee some company

Take a load off Annie take a load off for free

Take a load off Annie and and and yeah

Put the weight on me

Catch me a cannon ball now take me on down the line

My bag is sinking low and I believe that it's about time

You said to get in touch with Annie you know she's the one

Who sent me here with her regards for everyone

Take a load off Annie take a load off for free

Take a load off Annie take a load off for free

Take a load off Annie take a load off for free
