I pulled into Nazareth just a feelin' 'bout a half past dead I just need to find a place where I can lay my head 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 you put the load right on me I picked up my bag and went lookin' for a place to hide When I saw old Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side And I said, "Hey Carmen, come on will you go downtown?" She said, "Well I gotta go but my friend can stick around anyhow" Take a load off Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off Fanny And you put the load right on me Go down Miss Moses, ain't nothin' that you can say 'Cause is just old Luke and Luke's waitin' on the judgment day Well now 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 you put the load right on me Crazy Chester followed me yeah, and he caught me in the fog He said, "I would fix your rack, oh yeah if you'll just take Jack, my dog" I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I am a peaceful man" He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can?" Won't ya take a load off Fanny? Take a load for free Take a load off Fanny And you put the load right on me Catch a cannon ball now, to take me down the line 'Cause 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 I want you to take a load off Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off Fanny And you put the load right on me
