Supremes - The Weight lyrics

rate me

(Jamie Robertson) <br />

<br />

I pulled in to Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead<br />

I just need some place where I could 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<br />

'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 />

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 />

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

It's just old Luke, 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 />

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 />

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, I 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 you put the load right on me<br />

<br />

Take a load off, Fanny <br />

Take a load for free <br />

Take a load off, Fanny <br />

Put the weight on me<br />

<br />

Take a load off, Fanny <br />

Put the weight on me
