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, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a
load off, Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on
me
(You 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 can stick around"
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a
load off, Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on
me
(You put the load right on me)
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just
ol' Luke and Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day
"Well,
Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do
me a favor, 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 (and) (and) you put the load right on
me
(You put the load right on me)
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, you know I'm a peaceful man"
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you
can"
Yeah, take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the
load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
Catch a cannon ball now to take me down the line
My bag is
sinkin' 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 put the load right on
me
(You put the load right on me)
