The Weight

I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' 'bout a half past dead
 I just need some place where I could lay my head
 "Hey, mister, can you tell me where I can find a bed?"
 He just grinned and shook my hand, "No!" was all he said

 And (and, and)
 And put the load right on me (put the load right 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, "I gotta go, but my friend, he can stick around"

 Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog
 He said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take ol' Jack, my dog"
 I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man"
 He said, "That's okay, won't you feed him when you can?"
