Weight - Aaron Pritchett

I pulled into Naserath

Was a feelin' 'bouta 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 Annie,

Take a load for free,

Take a load off Annie

and you put the load right on me.

I picked up my bag,

I went a looking for a place to hide.

When I saw Carmon and the devil

Walking side my side.

I said, «Hey Carmon, come on lets go downtown.»

She said, «No.

I gotta go but my friend can stick around.»

Take a load off Annie,

Take a load for free,

Take a load off Annie

and you put the load right on me.

Crazy Chester followed me

and he caught me in the fog.

He said, «I'll fix your rack if you take Jack, my dog.»

I said," Wait a minute Chester, you know I’m a peaceful man."

He said, «That's okay boy, wont you feed him when you can.»

Take a load off Annie,

Take a load for free,

Take a load off Annie

and you put the load right on me.

Go down Mrs. Moses, there aint nothing

that you can see.

It’s just old Luke

and Lukes been waiting on a judgment day.

«Well Luke my friend, what about young annalee?»

He said, «do my a favor son would you stay and

keep annalee company.»

Take a load off Annie,

Take a load for free,

Take a load off Annie

and you put the load right on me.

Catch a cannonball, thata take me down the line.

My bag is sinking low and I do believe its time.

To get back to Mrs. Fanny, you know she’s the only one.

Who sent me here with her and god to everyone.

Take a load off Annie,

Take a load for free,

Take a load off Annie

and you put the load right on me.
