The Weight
The Band
| 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, "No" was all he said. | |
| G | Bm | C | G | Bm | C |
| Take a | load off | Fanny, | take a | load for | free |
| G | Bm | C | C | C |
| Take a | load off | Fanny, | and... | and... and... |
| C | G | G/F# | Em | G/D | C |
| You put the load right on | me | | | | |
| I picked up my bags, 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 "No, I've got to go, but my friend can stick around." | |
| Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free, Take a load off Fanny, | |
| And... and... and... You put the load, put the load right on me | |
| Go down Miss Moses, there's nothin' that you can say. | |
| It's just old Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the judgement day. | |
| "Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?" | |
| He said "Do me a favor son, won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company." | |
| Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free, Take a load off Fanny, | |
| And... and... and... You put the load, put the load right on me | |
| Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog. | |
| He said "I'll fix your rack if you'll take Jack my dog." | |
| I said "Wait a minute Chester, you know I'm a peacful 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, put the load right on me | |
| Get your cannonball 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... and... and... You put the load, put the load right on me | |
