The Weight

I pulled into Nazareth
 I was feelin' 'bout a half past dead
 (Dead)
 I just need some place
 Where I can lay my head
 (Head)
 Hey mister can you tell me
 Where a girl might find a bed?
 (Can ya tell me?)
 He just grinned and shook my hand
 And "No" was all he said
 Take a load off Fannie
 Take a load for free
 Take a load off Fannie
 Then hey-yeah-yeah
 Put the weight on me
 I picked up my bag
 I went lookin' for a place to hide
 When I saw comin' in the devil
 Walkin' side by side
 I said, "They're comin'
 Come on let's go down town?"
 She said, "I gotta go
 But my friend can stick around?"
 Take a load off Fannie
 Take a load for free
 Take a load off Fannie
 Then hey, an yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
 (Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
 Go down Moses
 There's nothin' that you can say
 (Ooo-ooo)
 It's just like all of us waitin'
 Waitin' for the judgment day
 (Woo-ooo)
 Well, Luke my friend
 What about Annalee?
 (Doo-ooo-ooo)
 He said, "Do me a favor?
 Stay and keep Annalee some company?"
 Take a load off Fannie
 Take a load for free
 Take a load off Fannie
 Well yeah
 Put the weight on me
 (Yeah-yeah-yeah)
 Catch me a cannonball
 And that'll take me on down the line
 (Yeah)
 My bag is circulin'
 I believe that it's about time
 (You said it girl)
 To get in touch with Fannie
 You know she's the one
 (Yeah)
 Who said, "Mickey
 Is there a God for every one?"
 Yeah
 Take a load off Fannie
 Take a load for free
 Take a load off Fannie
 Take a load for free
 Take a load off Fannie
 Take a load for free
