Testo The Weight

I pulled into Nazareth
I Was feeling 'bout half past dead

I just needed to find a place
Where I could lay my head
Mister, can you tell me
Where a girl might find a bed
He just screamed shook my hand And no was all he said

Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and, and) you put the load right on me

I picked up my bag
I went looking for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil
Walking side by side

I said Hey Carmen, come on
Let's go downtown
She said, I gotta go But my friend can stick around"

And take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and, and) you put the load right on me

Well I go down Moses, there's nothing' you can say
It's my friend Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day
Well tell, Luke, my friend, all about young Anna Lee
I'm only doing myself a favor, stick around and keep Anna Lee company

And take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and, and) you put the load right on me

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog
He said, I will fix your rack, if you'll take old Jack, my dog
Hey wait a minute, Chester, you know I am a peaceful man
He said, That's okay, boy, just feed him whenever you can

And take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and, and) you put the load right on me

Gonna Catch me a Cannonball, that'll take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Fanny sent me here with her regards for everyone

Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and, and) you put the load right on me
