The Weight Lyrics - An Anthology - Duane Allman

I pulled in to Nazareth was feelin' 'bout a half past dead 

I just need some place where I can lay my head 

Hey mister, can you tell me where a girl might find a bed 

He just grinned and shook my hand, no was all he said 

Take a load off Fanny, take the 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 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 the load for free 

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

Go down Moses there's nothing you can say 

It's just old Luke waiting, waiting on the judgement day 

Well Luke my friend what about Anna Lee 

He said do me a favor stay and keep Anna Lee from company 

Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free 

Take a load off Fanny and, and, and you put the weight on me 

Catch me a cannonball now take me on down the line 

My bag is sinking low and I believe that it's about time 

Get in touch with Fanny you know that she's the 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, take a load for free 

Take a load off Fanny
