The Weight
(专辑: How Sweet It Is - 2002)
Pulled into Nazareth, feeling 'bout half past dead Just need a
place where I
can lay my head Hey mister can you tell me where a
girl might find a
bed? He just grinned, shook my hand, 'no' was all he said [Chorus:] Take a
load off Fanny Take a
load for free Take a
load off Fanny and 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, let's go downtown' She said, 'I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around' [Chorus] Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothing you can say It's just ol' 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, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?' [Chorus] 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, boy, won't you feed him when you can' [Chorus] Catch a
cannon ball now, t'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
