The Weight (2018 Mono Remaster)

The Weight (2018 Mono Remaster) - Aretha Franklin

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 Fannie take a load for free

Take a load off Fannie 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

Take a load off Fannie take a load for free

Take a load off Fannie And (and) (and)

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 favor son woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company

Take a load off Fannie take a load for free

Take a load off Fannie And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me

Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog

He said "I will fix your rags 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 Fannie take a load for free

Take a load off Fannie Take a load off Fannie
