The Weight Lyrics by TFDI

TFDI

2009

Pulled into Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead
I just needed some place where I can lay my head
"Hey, mister, can you tell me, where a man might find a bed?"
He just smiled 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 (and) (and) you put the load (you put the load) right on me
Picked up my bags, I went looking for a place to hide
When I saw old Carmen and the Devil, walking side by side
I said, "Hey Carmen, c'mon, let's go downtown."
She said, "Well I gotta go, but my friend can stick around now."
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load (you put the load) right on me
Go down, Miss Moses, there's a nothin' you can say
It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on the judgment day
Well Luke, my friend, what about young Annalee?
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep a Miss Annalee company."
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load (you put the load) right on me
Crazy Chester followed me, and he took me in the fog
Said, "I can fix your rack, if you just take Jack my dog"
I said, "Wait a minute Chester, you know that I'm a peaceful man"
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can."
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load (you put the load) right on me
Yeah- oooh
Oh catch the cannonball, and take me on down the line
My bag is sinking low, and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know that 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 (and) (and) you put the load (you put the load) right on me
Put the load right on me
Put the load, put the load
