Shannon Curfman The Weight Lyrics

The weight
I pulled into Nazareth
I 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 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 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 Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
Go down, Ms. Moses
There ain't nothin' for you to 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, won't you
Stay an' keep Anna Lee company."
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 fall
He said I will fix you right
If you'll take Jack my dog
I said wait a minute Chester
You know I'm a peaceful man
He said that's OK boy
Won't you please me when you can
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
Fetch me a cannon ball
Now take me on down the line
May bag is sinkin' low
And I believe it's about time
To get in touch with me
You know she's the one
He said, "Honey, regards for everyone."
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) put the load right on me
