The Weight (feat. The Badloves) Lyrics

I pulled into Nazareth, I was feeling about half passed dead
Just needed to find a 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
And no was all he said Take a load off Annie
Take a load for free
Take a load off Annie
And put the load right on me I picked up my bags and went looking for a place to hide
When I saw old Carmel and the devil walking side by side
I said hey Carmel c'mon lets go downtown
She said I gotta go but my friend here can stick around Take a load off Annie
Take a load for free
Take a load off Annie
And put the load right on me Go down Miss Moses there ain't nothing you can say
It's just old Luke
Luke is waiting for the judgement day
Hey Luke my friend what about Anna-lee

He said do me a favor boy
Won't you stay and keep Anne-lee Company Take a load off Annie
Take a load for free
Take a load off Annie
And put the load right on me Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fall
He said I'll see you right, if you take on jack my dog
I said no wait a minute Chester no I'm a peaceful man
He said that's OK just feed him when you can
I'll catch a cannonball now to take me down the line
My bag is sinking low, I do believe its time
To get back to Miss Anne, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards to everyone Take a load off Annie
Take a load for free
Take a load off Annie
And put the load right on me
