The Weight

by justin timberlake

I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' about half past dead;
I just need some place 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.
(Chorus:)
Take a load off Fannie, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fannie, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide;
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side.
I said, Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown.
She said, I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around.
(Chorus)
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day.
Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?
He said, Do me a favor, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee
company?
(Chorus)
Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
He said, I will fix your rags, if you'll take Jack, my dog.
I said, Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man.
He said, That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can.
(Chorus)
Catch a Cannonball, now, t'take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time.
To get back to Miss Annie, you know she's the only one.
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.
(Chorus)

I pulled into Nazareth, I was
feelin' about half past dead;
I just need some place 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 Anny,
take a load for free;
Take a load off Anny,
And you can put the
load right on me.
I picked up my bag, I went
lookin' for a place to hide;
When I saw 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 Anny,
take a load for free;
Take a load off Anny,
And you can put the
load right on me.
Crazy Chester followed me,
and he caught me in the fog.
He said, "I will fix your rags,
if you'll take Jack, my dog."
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester,
you know I'm a peaceful man."
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't
you feed him when you can."
Take a load off Anny,
take a load for free;
Take a load off Anny,
And you can put the
load right on me.
Go down, Miss Moses,
there's nothin' you can say
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's
waitin' on the Judgement Day.
"Well, Luke, my friend, what
about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't
you stay and keep Anna Lee
company?"
Take a load off Anny,
take a load for free;
Take a load off Anny,
And you can put the
load right on me.
Catch a Cannonball, now,
to take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and
I do believe it's time.
To get back to Miss Anny,
you know she's the only one.
Who sent me here with
her regards for everyone.
Take a load off Anny,
take a load for free;
Take a load off Anny,
And you can put the
load right on me

The Weight

by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy

There's many who'll tell you they'll give you their love,
But when they say give they mean take.
They'll hang ‘round just like vultures till push comes to shove;
They'll take flight when the earth starts to shake.
Someone may say that they'll always be true,
Then slip out the door ‘fore the dawn.
But I won't leave you hanging on.
Another may stay till they find someone new,
Then before you know they'll be gone.
But I won't leave you hanging on;
No, I won't be that someone.
And come what may, I won't abandon you or leave you behind
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.
And come what may, I will be standing right here by your side;
I won't run away, though the storm's getting worse and there's no end in sight.
Some talk of destiny, others of fate,
But soon they'll be saying goodbye.
But I won't leave you high and dry.
Because a ring don't mean nothing
If you can't haul the weight,
And some of them won't even try,
But I won't leave you high and dry;
I won't leave you wondering why.
And come what may, I won't abandon you or leave you behind
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.
And come what may, I will be standing right here by your side;
I won't run away, though the storm's getting worse and there's no end in sight.
And storms will surely come,
But true love is a choice you must make
And you're the one that I have set my heart to choose.
As long as I live, I swear I'll see this through.
And come what may, I won't abandon you or leave you behind
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.
And come what may, I will be standing right here by your side;
I won't run away, though the storm's getting worse and there's no end in sight.
