The Weight
Shannon Curfman
I pulled into nazareth I was feelin' about half past dead I just need some place Where i can lay my head "hey, 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 (and) (and) put the weight on me I picked up my bag I went lookin' for a place to hide When i saw carmen and the devil Walkin' side by side I said, "hey, carmen, come on, let's go downtown" She said, "i gotta go, but m'friend can stick around" Take a load off fanny Take a load for free Take a load off fanny And (and) (and) put the weight on me Go down, moses There ain't nothin' for you to say It's just ol' luke And luke's waitin' on the judgment day "well, luke, my friend What about young anna lee?" He said, "do me a favor Stay an' keep anna lee company." Take a load off fanny Take a load for free Take a load off fanny And (and) (and) put the weight on me Fetch me a cannon ball Now take me on down the line May bag is sinkin' low And i believe it's about time To get in touch with me You know she's the one He said, "honey, regards for everyone." Take a load off fanny Take a load for free Take a load off fanny And (and) (and) put the weight on meblues rock covers repeat wanderlust
