Aretha Franklin - The Weight (Feat. Duane Allman)

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, and No, was all he said

Take a load off Annie, take a load off for free
Take a load off Annie, 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, Well I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around

Take a load off Annie, take a load off for free
Take a load off Annie, And and and put the weight on me

Go down, Moses, there's nothin' that you can say
It's just like ol' Luke waitin', waitin' on Judgement Day
Well, Luke, my friend, what about Anna Lee
He said, Do me a favour, stay an' keep Anna Lee some company

Take a load off Annie, take a load off for free
Take a load off Annie, And and and put the weight on me

Catch me a cannon ball, now take me on down the line
My bag is sinkin' low, and I believe that it's about time
To get in touch with Annie, you know she's the one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone

Take a load off Annie, take a load off for free
Take a load off Annie, And and and put the weight on me
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, and No, was all he said

Take a load off Annie, take a load off for free
Take a load off Annie, 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, Well I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around

Take a load off Annie, take a load off for free
Take a load off Annie, And and and put the weight on me

Go down, Moses, there's nothin' that you can say
It's just like ol' Luke waitin', waitin' on Judgement Day
Well, Luke, my friend, what about Anna Lee
He said, Do me a favour, stay an' keep Anna Lee some company

Take a load off Annie, take a load off for free
Take a load off Annie, And and and put the weight on me

Catch me a cannon ball, now take me on down the line
My bag is sinkin' low, and I believe that it's about time
To get in touch with Annie, you know she's the one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone

Take a load off Annie, take a load off for free
Take a load off Annie, And and and put the weight on me
