Marty Stuart - The Weight lyrics

[Marty Stuart - The Weight lyrics]

Written by Robbie Robertson

I pulled into Nazareth
Was feeling about half past dead
I Just need some place here 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 Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) you put the load right on me

I picked up my bags
Went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw ole 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"



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

Go down Moses
There's nothin' that you can say
It's just 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 son
Woncha stay and keep Anna Lee company"

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

Catch a cannon ball now to take
Me on down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and
I do believe it's time
Get back to Miss Fanny
You know she's the only one
Who 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) you put the load right on me
