The Band The Weight Lyrics

I pulled into Nazareth, 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, f____.
Take a load for free.
Take a load off, f____
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me.
(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 my friend can stick around."

Take a load off, f____.
Take a load for free.
Take a load off, f____
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me.
(You put the load right on me.)

Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' 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, won'tcha stay and keep Miss Anna Lee company?"

Take a load off, f____.
Take a load for free.
Take a load off, f____
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me.
(You put the load right on me.)

Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
He said, "I will fix your rack if you'll take Jack, my dog."
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man."
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can."

Take a load off, f____.
Take a load for free.
Take a load off, f____
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me.
(You put the load right on me.)

Catch a cannon ball now to take me down the line.
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss f____, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.

Take a load off, f____.
Take a load for free.
Take a load off, f____
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me.
(You put the load right on me.)
