Testo The Weight - Mavis Staples feat. Levon Helm
Testo della canzone The Weight (Mavis Staples feat. Levon Helm), tratta dall'album Carry Me Home
I pulled into Nazareth, I was feeling 'bout half past dead
Just needed to find a place where I can lay my head
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)
You put the load right on me
Oh, yeah
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 got to go but my friend can stick around"
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
(And, and, and)
You put the load right on me
Well, I go down, Moses, ain't nothing you can say
It's my friend Luke, and Luke's waiting for the Judgment Day
Tell, well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?
I'm gonna do myself a favor, stick around and keep Anna Lee company
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
(And, and, and)
You put the load right on me
Crazy Chester followed me, he caught me in the fog
He said, "I will fix your rack if you'll take old Jack, my dog"
"Hey, wait a minute, Chester, you know I am a peaceful man"
He said, "That's okay, just feed him whenever you can now"
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
(And, and, and)
You put the load right on me
Gonna catch me a cannon ball now to take me on down the line
Know my bag is sinkin' low and I do believe that it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Fanny sent me down here tonight with her regards for everyone
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
(And, and, and)
You put the load right on me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
