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 fi 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"
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)
