The Weight

I pulled in to Nazareth, was feeling 'bout 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: No, was all he said
Take a load off, Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny and you put the load right on me
Go down Miss Moses, there's nothing you can say
It's just old Luke and Luke's waiting on the judgement day
Well, Luke my friend, what about young Anna-Lee?
He said: Do me a favor son, won't you stay and keep Anna-Lee company?
Take a load off, Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny and you put the load right on me
Catch a cannonball now to 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
Take a load off, Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny and you put the load right on me
