Starsky & Hutch movie - The Weight lyrics

rate me

Song by The Band<br /><br>

I pulled in to Nazareth, was feeling '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, "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 you put the load right on me <br>

<br>

I picked up my bag, I went looking for a place to hide <br>

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

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

She said "I gotta go but my friend can stick around"<br>

<br>

Go down Miss Moses, there's nothing you can say <br>

It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting 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 and keep Anna-Lee company?"<br>

<br>

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

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

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

He said "That's okay boy, won't you feed him when you can?''<br>

<br>

Catch a cannonball 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>
