Lee Ann Womack - The Weight lyrics
[Lee Ann Womack - The Weight lyrics]
I pulled into Nazareth
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
"No" was all he said
Take a load off Annie, take a load for free
Take a load off Annie 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 Annie, take a load for free
Take a load off Annie 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 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 Annie, take a load for free
Take a load off Annie 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
Rack, 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 Annie, take a load for free
Take a load off Annie and (And, and)
You can put the load right on me
Catch a cannon ball now
T'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
Who sent me here with
Her regards for everyone
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
"No" was all he said
Take a load off Annie, take a load for free
Take a load off Annie 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 Annie, take a load for free
Take a load off Annie 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 Luke's
Waitin' on the Judgement Day
