I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' 'bout 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, and "No" was all he said
|
|
Take a load off Fanny
|
Take a load for free
|
Take a load off Fanny
|
And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me
|
|
|
Picked up my bag, 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 m'friend can stick around"
|
|
Take a load off Fanny
|
Take a load for free
|
Take a load off Fanny
|
And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me
|
|
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
|
It's just old Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day
|
"Well Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
|
He said, "Do me a favour, son, won't you stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"
|

|
Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog
|
He said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog"
|
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, I'm a peaceful man"
|
He said, "That's OK, just feed him when you can"
|
|
Take a load off Fanny
|
Take a load for free
|
Take a load off Fanny
|
And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me
|
|
Catch a cannon ball 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, you 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 (and) (and) you can put the load right on me
