The Weight Lyrics by Joshua Morris

It Ain’t Easy

2023

(Verse)
I pulled into Nazareth
Was feeling about half past dead
I just need a place where I can lay my head
Mr., can you tell me where a man might find a bed?
He just grinned and 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 you put the load right on me
(Verse)
I picked up my bags and I went looking for a place to hide
Then I saw Carmen and the devil walking side-by-side
I said "Hey, Carmen come on let's go downtown"
She said "I got to go, but my friend, he can stick around"
(Chorus)
Take a load off, Fanny
Takе a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And
You put the load right on me
(Vеrse)
So go down, Miss Moses
There ain't nothing you can say
That's just old Luke
And Luke's waiting on judgment day
Well Luke, my friend, what about Annalee?
He said "Do me a favor, son
Won't you stay and keep Annalee company?"
(Chorus)
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And put the load right on me
(Verse)
Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
He said "I'll fix your rack if you take Jack, my dog"
I said "Wait a minute, Chester
You know I'm a peaceful man"
He said "That's OK boy, won't you feed him when you can?"
(Chorus)
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And
You put the load right on me
(Verse)
Catch a cannonball, won't ya take me down the line
My bags are 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 now
With her regards for everyone
(Chorus)
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
Put the load right on me
