The Weight New Riders of the Purple Sage

Robertson

I pulled in to Nazareth, was feeling 'bout 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, Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny 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'

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

Go down Miss Moses, there's nothing you can say
It's just old Luke and Luke's waiting on the judgement day
'Well, Luke my friend, what about young Anna-Lee ?'
He said 'Do me a favour son, won't you stay and keep Anna-Lee company ?'

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