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)
