The Weight (Live)

I pulled in to Nazareth
I was feeling 'bout half past dead
I just need to find a place
Where I can lay my head
Mister, can you tell me
Where a girl 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, let's go downtown'
She said, 'I gotta go, but my friend can stick around'
And take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
Put the load on me
Go down, 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, won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company?'
And take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
Put the load on me
Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog
He said, 'I gonna fix your rack,if you'll take Jack, 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.'
And take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
Put the load on me
Catch a Cannonball, now, to take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe that 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
Put the load
Put the load
Put the load
Put the load on me
Put the load
Put the load
Put the load on me
Put the load x10
