Shannon Curfman - 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 girl might find a bed?
He just grinned and shook my hand
"No", was all he said

Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And put the weight 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, yeah

(Take a load off, Fanny)
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And put the weight on me

Go down, Moses
There ain't nothin' for you to say
It's just like 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
Stay an' keep Anna Lee company"

(Take a load off, Fanny)
Take a load for, free
Take a load off Fanny
And put the weight on me

Fetch me a cannon ball
Now, take me on down the line
My bag is sinkin' low
And I believe it's about time
To get in touch with me
You know she's the one
He said, "Honey"
Their regards for everyone

(Take a load off, Fanny)
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And put the weight on me

Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free, yeah
And put the weight on me
And put the weight on me, on me
