The Weight (feat Tony Lucca Matt Duke & Jay Nash) - TFDI
I pulled into Nazareth
I was feelin' about half past dead
Just need to find a 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 and "No" was all he said
Take a load off Anny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Anny
And you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
I picked up my bag
And I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil
Walkin' side by side
And I said "Hey Carmen come on
Would you go downtown"
And she said "Well I gotta go
But my friend can stick around"
And take a load off Anny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Anny
And you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
Go down Miss Moses
There ain't nothin' that you can say
'Cause just ol' Luke and Luke's
Waitin' on the Judgment Day
"Well now Luke my friend
What about young Anna Lee "
He said "Do me a favor son
Won't you stay an' keep Anna Lee company "
Take a load off Anny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Anny
And you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
Crazy Chester followed me
And he caught me in the fog
He said "I will fix your rags
If you'll take Jack my dog"
I said "Wait a minute Chester
You know I'm a peaceful man"
He said "That's okay boy
Won't you feed him when you can "
Take a load off Anny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Anny
And you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
Catch a Cannonball now
To take me down the line
My my bag is sinkin' low
And I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Anny
You know she's the only one
Who sent me here
With her regards for everyone
Take a load off Anny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Anny
And you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
