The Weight
Lyrics
I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' about half past dead
Just need to find a 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

And I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, would you go downtown"
Go down, Miss Moses, there ain't nothin' that you can say
He just grinned and shook my hand and, "No", was all he said
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
Take a load off Anny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Anny
My, my bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side
He said, "I will fix your rags, if you'll take Jack, my dog"
And you put the load right on me
And you put the load right on me
Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
I picked up my bag and I went lookin' for a place to hide
Take a load for free
(You put the load right on me)
Take a load for free
And you put the load right on me
Take a load off Anny
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
And she said, "Well, I gotta go but my friend can stick around"
(You put the load right on me)
(You put the load right on me)
To get back to Miss Anny, you know she's the only one
And you put the load right on me
"Well, now Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
(You put the load right on me)
Catch a Cannonball, now, to take me down the line
'Cause just ol' Luke and Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day
Take a load off Anny
Take a load off Anny
And take a load off Anny
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man"

He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"
Just need to find a place where I can lay my head
I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' about half past dead
Take a load off Anny
