Joan Osborne - The Weight Lyrics
Pulled into Nazareth, feeling 'bout half past deadJust need a place where I can lay my headHey mister can you tell me where a girl might find a bed?He just grinned, shook my hand, 'no' was all he saidChorus:Take a load off FannyTake a load for freeTake a load off Fannyand put the load right on meI picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hideWhen I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by sideI said, 'Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown'She said, 'I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around'ChorusGo down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can sayIt'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?'ChorusCrazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fogHe 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'ChorusCatch a cannon ball now, t'take me down the lineMy bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's timeTo get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only oneWho sent me here with her regards for everyone
