 Aretha Franklin - the weight Lyrics

I pulled into Nazareth
I was feelin? bout a half past dead [dead]
I just need some place
Where I can lay my head [head]
?Hey mister can you tell me where a girl might find a bed??
[Can ya tell me?]
He just grinned and shook my hand
And ?no? was all he said

Take a load off Fannie
"8m22202c21122313nmm15r
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fannie
"8m22202c21122313nmm15r
Then hey-yea-yea
Put the weight on me!

I picked up my bag
I went lookin? for a place to hide
When I saw comin? in the devil
Walkin? side by side
I said ?they comin?
Come on let?s go down town?
She said ?I gotta go but my friend can stick around?

Take a load off Fannie
"8m22202c21122313nmm15r
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fannie
"8m22202c21122313nmm15r
Then hey, an yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
[Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo]

Go down Moses
There?s nothin? that-a you can say
[Ooo-ooo]
It?s just like all of us waitin?
Waitin? for the judgement day
[Woo-ooo]
Well Luke my friend
What about Annalee?
[Doo-ooo-ooo]
He said ?Do me a favor?
?Stay and keep Annalee some company?

[Take a load off Fannie
"8m22202c21122313nmm15r
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fannie]
Well-ell yeah
Put the weight on me

[Yeah-yeah-yeah]
Catch me a cannonball
And that?ll take me on down the line
[Yeah]
My bag is circulin?
I believe that it?s about time
[You said it girl]
To get in touch with Fannie
You know she?s the one
[Yeah]
Who said ?Mickey
Is there a god forever one??
Yeah!
