The Weight
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 Fannie, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fannie, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
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.
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?
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.
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.
