The Weight

I pulled into Nazareth, 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 [bad word]  take a load for free;
Take a load off [bad word]  and (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.

(chorus)

Go down, miss Moses, there's nothin you can say
Its 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)

Catch a cannon ball now, take me down the line
My bag is sinkin low and I do believe its time.
To get back to miss [bad word]  you know shes the only one.
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.
