The Weight Lyrics
The Weight - Sammi Smith
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 lets go downtown
She said i gotta go but mfriend can stick around
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
Go down miss moses there's nothin you can say
It's just ol luke and lukes 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
Catch a cannonball now 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 shes the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
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
