The Band – The Weight 0

I pulled into Nazareth
I was feeling about a 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 then he shook my hand
And "No", was all he said

Take a load off Fannie
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fannie
And (and) you can put the load right on me (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, "Hey, and I gotta go, but my friend the Devil can stick around"

Take a load off Fannie
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fannie
And (and) you can put the load right on me (put the load right on me)

Go down Moses
And there's nothing that you can say
It's just old Luke and,
Luke's waiting on the Judgement Day
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won’t you stay and keep Anna Lee company?"

Take a load off Fannie
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fannie
And (and) you can put the load right on me (put the load right on me)

That’s why I’m singing

Take a load off Fannie
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fannie
And (and) you can put the load right on me (put the load right on me)
