I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin about 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, 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, Moses, there's nothin that you can say Cuz its old Luke, and lukes waitin on the judgment day. Hey, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna lee? He said, do me a favor, son, woncha stay an 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 old jack, my dog. I said, wait a minute, Chester, I'm a peaceful man. He said, that's okay, wont you feed him whenever 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, take me on down the line My bag is sinkin low and I do believe its time. To get back to miss fanny, you know she's the only one. She 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.) <♪>
