The Weight — текст песни (band)

I pulled into Nazareth, 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 man might find a bed?

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





(Chorus:)

Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free;

Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right 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.



(Chorus)



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

It`s just ol` 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, woncha stay an` keep Anna Lee company?



(Chorus)



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, you know I`m a peaceful man.

He said, That`s okay, boy, won`t you feed him when you can.



(Chorus)



Catch a cannon ball now, t`take me down the line

My bag is sinkin` 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.
