Aretha Franklin - The Weight lyrics

[Aretha Franklin - The Weight lyrics]

I pulled into Nazareth
I was feeling 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? (Can you tell me)
He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No
" was all he said take a load off Annie
Take a load off for free
Take a load off Annie, and, and
And put the weight 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, "Well I gotta go
But m'friend can stick around
Take a load off Annie


Take a load off for free
Take a load off Annie, and, and, and

Go down, Moses
There's nothing that you can say
It's just like all Luke waiting
Waiting on Judgement Day
Well, Luke, my friend, what about Anna Lee?
He said, Do me a favor
Stay an' keep Anna Lee some company

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

Catch me a cannon ball
Now take me on down the line
My bag is sinking low
And I believe that it's about time
To get in touch with Annie
You know she's the one who sent me here with
Her regards for everyone?
Take a load off Annie
Take a load off for free
Take a load off Annie
Take a load off for free
