The Weight

Lyrics for The Weight

I pulled into Nazareth I was feelin' 'bout a half past dead (Dead) I just need some place Where I can lay my head (Head) Hey mister can you tell me Where a girl might find a bed? (Can ya tell me?) He just grinned and shook my hand And "No" was all he said Take a load off Fannie Take a load for free Take a load off Fannie Then hey-yeah-yeah Put the weight on me I picked up my bag I went lookin' for a place to hide When I saw comin' in the devil Walkin' side by side I said, "They're comin' Come on let's go down town?" She said, "I gotta go But my friend can stick around?" Take a load off Fannie Take a load for free Take a load off Fannie Then hey, an yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah (Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo) Go down Moses There's nothin' that you can say (Ooo-ooo) It's just like all of us waitin' Waitin' for the judgment day (Woo-ooo) Well, Luke my friend What about Annalee? (Doo-ooo-ooo) He said, "Do me a favor? Stay and keep Annalee some company?" Take a load off Fannie Take a load for free Take a load off Fannie Well yeah Put the weight on me (Yeah-yeah-yeah) Catch me a cannonball And that'll take me on down the line (Yeah) My bag is circulin' I believe that it's about time (You said it girl) To get in touch with Fannie You know she's the one (Yeah) Who said, "Mickey Is there a God for every one?" Yeah Take a load off Fannie Take a load for free Take a load off Fannie Take a load for free Take a load off Fannie Take a load for free
