"The Weight" lyrics

Michael Bolton, B.D. Wong & Scott Adsit Lyrics

"The Weight"
(originally by The Band)
(from "The Weight" soundtrack)


I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead
I just need someplace where 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, and) you put the load right on me

I picked up my bags, I went looking for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walking side by side
I said "Hey Carmen, come on let's go downtown?"
And she said "I gotta go but my friends will stick around"

And you can take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and, and)
And you can take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and, and) you put the load right on me
