Band The The Weight Lyrics

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.

(Chorus:)
Take a load off Annie,
take a load for free;
Take a load off Annie, 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 favour, 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 Annie, you know she's the only one.
Who sent me here with her regards
for everyone?

(Chorus)
