Lyrics The Weight

I pulled into Nazareth
I 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 girl 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 off for free
Take a load off Annie yeah yeah yeah yeah
Put the weight 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 well I gotta go but my friend can stick around
Take a load off Annie take a load off for free
Take a load off Annie yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Put the weight on me
Go down Moses there's nothin' that you can say
It's just like ol' Luke waitin' waitin' on judgement Day
Well Luke my friend what about Anna Lee?
He said do me a favour stay and keep Anna Lee some company
Take a load off Annie take a load off for free
Take a load off Annie yeah yeah yeah yeah
Put the weight on me
Catch me a cannon ball now take me on down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and I believe that it's about time
To get in touch with Annie you know she's the one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
Yeah take a load off Annie take a load off for free
