I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead
|
I just need some place where I can 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 Annie, take a load for free;
|
Take a load off Annie, And (and) (and) you can 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 friends can stick around."
|
|
Take a load off Annie, take a load for free
|
Take a load off Annie, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me
|
|
Go down, Miss Moses, ain't nothin' you can say
|
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day.
|
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
|
He said, "Do me a favor, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"
|
|
Take a load off Annie, take a load for free
|
Take a load off Annie, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me
|
|
Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
|
He said, "I will fix your ride, if you'll take Jack, my dog."
|
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man."
|
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can."
|
|
Take a load off Annie, take a load for free
|
Take a load off Annie, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me
|
|
Catch a cannon ball goin' take me down the line
|
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time.
|
To get back to Miss Anne, you know she's the only one.
|
Who let me here with her regards for everyone.
