Diana Ross The Weight song lyrics

(Jamie Robertson) I pulled in to Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead

I just need some place where I could 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 that you can say It's just old Luke, 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

Catch a cannonball now to take me down the line My bag is sinking low and I do believe it's time To get back to Miss Fanny, I 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 you put the load right on me

Take a load off, Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off, Fanny Put the weight on me

Take a load off, Fanny Put the weight on me
