The Weight Lyrics - Travis

I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' 'bout half past dead 

I just need some place where I can lay my head 

"Hey mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?" 

He just grinned and shook my hand, and, "No" was all he said 

Take a load off Fanny 

Take a load for free 

Take a load off Fanny 

And you can put the load right on me 

(And) 

(And) 

Picked up my bag, 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 you can put the load right on me 

(And) 

(And) 

Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say 

It's just old Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day 

"Well Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?" 

He said, "Do me a favor, son 

Won't you stay an' keep Anna Lee company?" 

Take a load off Fanny 

Take a load for free 

Take a load off Fanny 

And you can put the load right on me 

(And) 

(And) 

Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog 

He said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog" 

I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, I'm a peaceful man" 

He said, "That's okay, just feed him when you can" 

Take a load off Fanny 

Take a load for free 

Take a load off Fanny 

And you can put the load right on me 

(And) 

(And) 

Catch a cannon ball now, to take me down the line 

My bag is 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 with her regards for everyone 

Take a load off Fanny 

Take a load for free 

Take a load off Fanny 

And you can put the load right on me 

(And) 

(And)
