The Weight

(앨범: Big Wheel - 2006)

I pulled into Nazareth
Was feeling 'bout half past dead
I just need some place where I can laid 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

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 lets go downtown
She said I gotta go but my friend can stick around

Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me

Crazy Chester followed me
And he caught me in the fog
He said I will fix your rack 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 won't you feed him when you can

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 favour 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
