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 Annie, take a load for free;
Take a load off Annie, 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 rack, 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 cannon ball 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.

I’m going down to the riverbank this morning
Way before the family is awake
Gonna lay me down at the foot of the water
And spill out all my troubles for everyone’s sake
You can’t have love when you never can surrender
I’ve been spreading around my anger like a plague
I’ve sailed this far with my boat on fire
Fighting flames each day, too stubborn to expire
I will soak my soul
Let the river take control
Let the river take control
I know it’s not too late
To let go the weight
To let go the weight
The sun will rise and shine on me this morning
It will seep its way into my heart
And untie all the knots that have hardened me through the years
And I’ll embrace wisdom that sun will impart
And with this heat burning inside me
I will warm all of the people that I love
In their darkest of hours and weakest of minds
I’ll light up their nights with every star I can find
I will soak my soul
Let the river take control
Let the river take control
I know it’s not too late
To let go the weight
I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' abut half past

And you put the load, put the load right on
The sun burns out his eyes
The vampire isn't suprised
He was waiting there all night
To be the first one to notice the dawn
Don't give it the weight
When you're so far out of it
You're so far out of it
I want to notice
All the changes as they come
I want the patience
Of a mother
No cleverness could make that appeal
Song less like a prayer

(Chorus)
We danced for the rain All covered
in silver laughter and gold The hurricane
swept in and trees were made into forts
around the yard I can't be withdrawn From
a little ember that burned in me once ago
I can't seem to find it in my jaded wounded
trapeze of living life
But the little you show me Has kept me wondering
If I was set on the right path Or did I make a big
mistake so long ago
[chorus]
Cuz all I can feel is..All I can feel is more weight than
ever before All I can feel is.. All I can feel is blistering
on my bed All I can feel is..All I can feel is more
weight than ever before All I can feel is..
For years, we were bathed Drowned in all this dirt
that ruins our lives And one day we step up and we
shake it off with a smile Please work this out Someone
please tell me who is responsible For letting us grow up
in this hive of bastards and lies and enemies
And the little you've showed me Has rendered me away
And the scars that you gave me Are still repeating, slamming
on my door
But what I can feel is this better day
Woke up to sounds of gulls on the bay
I've gotta make use of this beauty today
Cuz it could drag me down..The weight
could drag me down back to where I began
[chorus]
I pulled in to Nazareth
I was feeling bout half past dead
I just need some place
Where I can lay my head
Hey, mister, can you tell me
Where can I find a bed
He just grinned, shook my hand
No, was all he said
(CHORUS)
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
I picked up my bag
I went looking for a place to hide
When I saw old Carmen and
The Devil walking side by side
Well, I said, hey, Carmen
Come on, let's go downtown
She said, I got to go
But my friend can stick around
(CHORUS)
Go down, Miss Moses
There's nothing you can say
It's just old Luke, and Luke is
Waiting on the judgement day
Well, Luke, my friend
What about young Anna Lee
He said, do me a favor, hon
Won't you stay and
Keep Anna Lee company
(CHORUS)
Get your cannonball now
Take me down the line
My bag is sinking low
And I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny
You know she's the only one
Who sent me here
With her regards for everyone
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 girl might find a bed?";
He just grinned and shook my hand
";No!"; was all he said
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) put the weight 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";
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) put the weight on me
Go down, Moses
There ain't nothin' for you to 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
Stay an' keep Anna Lee company.";
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) put the weight on me
Fetch me a cannon ball
Now take me on down the line
May bag is sinkin' low
And I believe it's about time
To get in touch with me
You know she's the one
He said, ";Honey, regards for everyone.";
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) put the weight on me
I pulled in to Nazareth, was feeling 'bout 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, "No" was all he said
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And you put the load right on me
I picked up my bag, 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"
She said "I gotta go but my friend can stick around"
Go down Miss Moses, there's nothing you can say
It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on the judgement day
"Well, Luke my friend, what about young Anna-Lee?"
He said "Do me a favour son, won't you stay and keep Anna-Lee company?"
Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
He said "I will fix your rat 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?''
Catch a cannonball now to take me down the line
My bag is sinking low and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
Bright Lights Throw Me
Oh My God The Music Stopped
Tell Me Where I Just Left Off
I Get So Scared
Everything Starts To Shake
Tell Me That I'm Thinking Straight
You Carry All The Weight
You Carry All The Weight
You Carry All The Weight For Me
All Eyes On Me
Attentively I Start To Trip
Watch Me As I Start To Flip
I Get So Cold
I Can Not Trust Myself Sometimes
I'm Working On A Dangerous Line
You Carry All The Weight
You Carry All The Weight
You Carry All The Weight For Me
(Vocalizing)
Always
Always
Stay
Always
Always
Stay
You Carry All The Weight
You Carry All The Weight
