Staple Singers, The - The Weight Lyrics
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
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 my friend can stick around"
Take a load off, Fanny, take a load for free
(And, and)
You can put the load right on me
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can 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, son, won't ya 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 can put the load right on me
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?"
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
Catch a cannon ball now, 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
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
