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 then shook my hand
No was all he said
Oh
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
Right on me
Hmmm
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
Hey
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
Right on me
Hmmm
Go down Miss Moses
There's nothin' you can say
It's just tol' 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
Ahh
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
Right on me
Hmmm
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
Hey
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
Right on me
Hmmm
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
Hey
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
Right on me
Hmmm
Hmmmm
