The Weight Lyrics - Aretha Franklin

I pulled into Nazareth 

I was feelin' 'bout a half past dead 

(Dead) 

I just need some place 

Where I can lay my head 

(Head) 

Hey mister can you tell me 

Where a girl might find a bed? 

(Can ya tell me?) 

He just grinned and shook my hand 

And "No" was all he said 

Take a load off Fannie 

Take a load for free 

Take a load off Fannie 

Then hey-yeah-yeah 

Put the weight on me

I picked up my bag 

I went lookin' for a place to hide 

When I saw comin' in the devil 

Walkin' side by side 

I said, "They're comin' 

Come on let's go down town?" 

She said, "I gotta go 

But my friend can stick around?" 

Take a load off Fannie 

Take a load for free 

Take a load off Fannie 

Then hey, an yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah 

(Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo) 

Go down Moses 

There's nothin' that you can say 

(Ooo-ooo) 

It's just like all of us waitin' 

Waitin' for the judgment day 

(Woo-ooo)

Well, Luke my friend 

What about Annalee? 

(Doo-ooo-ooo) 

He said, "Do me a favor? 

Stay and keep Annalee some company?" 

Take a load off Fannie 

Take a load for free 

Take a load off Fannie 

Well yeah 

Put the weight on me 

(Yeah-yeah-yeah) 

Catch me a cannonball 

And that'll take me on down the line 

(Yeah) 

My bag is circulin' 

I believe that it's about time 

(You said it girl) 

To get in touch with Fannie 

You know she's the one 

(Yeah) 

Who said, "Mickey 

Is there a God for every one?" 

Yeah 

Take a load off Fannie 

Take a load for free 

Take a load off Fannie 

Take a load for free 

Take a load off Fannie 

Take a load for free
