Artist/Band: Marty Stuart
Lyrics for Song: The Weight
Lyrics for Album: Compadres: An Anthology Of Duets [2007]



Written by Robbie Robertson



I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling about half past dead



I Just need some place here I can lay my head



"Hey Mister can you tell me where a man might find a bed"



He just grinned and shook my hand and "no" was all he said



Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free



Take a load off Fanny



And (and) you put the load right on me



I picked up my bags, went lookin' for a place to hide



When I saw ole Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side



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



She said "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around"



Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free



Take a load off Fanny



And (and) you put the load right on me



Go down Moses, there's nothin' that you can say



It's just ol' Luke and Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day



"Well Luke my friend, what about young Anna Lee"



He said "Do me a favor son, woncha stay and keep Anna Lee company"



Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free



Take a load off Fanny



And (and) you put the load right on me



Catch a cannon ball now to take me on down the line



My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time



Get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one



Who sent me here with her regards for everyone



Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free



Take a load off Fanny



And (and) you put the load right on me
