Igby Goes Down movie - The Weight lyrics

Song by Travis<br /><br>

I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' 'bout half past dead<br>

I just need some place where I can lay my head<br>

"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"<br>

He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No" was all he said<br>

<br>

Take a load off Fanny<br>

Take a load for free<br>

Take a load off Fanny<br>

And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me<br>

<br>

Picked up my bag, went lookin' for a place to hide<br>

When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side<br>

I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown"<br>

She said, "I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around"<br>

<br>

Take a load off Fanny<br>

Take a load for free<br>

Take a load off Fanny<br>

And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me<br>

<br>

Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say<br>

It's just old Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day<br>

"Well Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"<br>

He said, "Do me a favour, son, won't you stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"<br>

<br>

Take a load off Fanny<br>

Take a load for free<br>

Take a load off Fanny<br>

And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me<br>

<br>

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog<br>

He said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog"<br>

I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, I'm a peaceful man"<br>

He said, "That's OK, just feed him when you can"<br>

<br>

Take a load off Fanny<br>

Take a load for free<br>

Take a load off Fanny<br>

And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me<br>

<br>

Catch a cannon ball now, to take me down the line<br>

My bag is sinking low and I do believe it's time<br>

To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one<br>

Who sent me here with her regards for everyone<br>

<br>

Take a load off Fanny<br>

Take a load for free<br>

Take a load off Fanny<br>

And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me<br>

<br>
