The Weight
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I pulled into nazareth, was feelin' about 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, and "no!", was all he said.
Take a load off fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off fanny, and (and) (and)
You can put the load right on me.
I picked up my bag, i went lookin' for a place to hide;
When i saw carmen and the devil walkin' side by side.
I said, "hey, carmen, come on, let's go downtown."
She said, "i gotta go, but m'friend can stick around."
Take a load off fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off fanny, and (and) (and)
You can put the load right on me.
Go down, miss moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just ol' luke, and luke's waitin' on the judgement day.
"well, luke, my friend, what about young anna lee?"
He said, "do me a favor, son, woncha stay an' keep anna lee company?"
Take a load off fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off fanny, and (and) (and)
You can put the load right on me.
