I pulled in to Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead
|
I just need some place where I could lay my head
|
Hey mister, can you tell me where a man 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 you put the load right on me
|
|
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 gotta go but my friend can stick around'
|
|
Take a load off, Fanny
|
Take a load for free
|
Take a load off, Fanny
|
And you put the load right on me
|
|
Go down Miss Moses, there's nothing that you can say
|
It's just old Luke, waiting on the judgement day
|
'Well, Luke my friend, what about young Anna-Lee?'
|
He said 'Do me a favour son, won't you stay and keep Anna-Lee company?'
|
|
Take a load off, Fanny
|
Take a load for free
|
Take a load off, Fanny
|
And you put the load right on me
|
|
Catch a cannonball now to take me down the line
|
My bag is sinking low and I do believe it's time
|
To get back to Miss Fanny, I know she's the only one
|
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
|
|
Take a load off, Fanny
|
Take a load for free
|
Take a load off, Fanny
|
And you put the load right on me
|
|
Take a load off, Fanny
|
Take a load for free
|
Take a load off, Fanny
|
Put the weight on me
|
|
Take a load off, Fanny
|
Put the weight on me
|
