The Weight Lyrics
I pulled into Nazareth, I 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 Annie, take a load for free
Take a load off Annie and you 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 Annie, take a load for free
Take a load off Annie and you put the load right on me
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' that 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 an' keep Anna Lee company?"
Take a load off Annie, take a load for free
Take a load off Annie and you 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 Annie, take a load for free
Take a load off Annie, and you put the load right on me

I gotta catch a cannonball, now take me on down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time
Get back to Miss Annie, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
Take a load off Annie, take a load for free
Take a load off Annie and you put the load right on me
