Aretha Franklin - The Weight lyrics

Your rating:

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
 Take a load for free
 Take a load off Fannie
 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
 Take a load for free
 Take a load off Fannie
 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
 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!

 (Take a load off Fannie
 Take a load for free
 Take a load off Fannie
 Take a load for free
 FADES-
 Take a load off Fannie
 Take a load
