I pulled in to Nazareth' was feeling 'bout half past dead I just need some place where I can lay my head Hey mister, can you tell me where man might find a bed? He just grinned and shock 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 I picked up m' bag, I went lookinng for a place to hide; when I saw old Carmen, and the Devil walkin' side by side well, I said, “Hey Carmen, Come on, let's go downtown.” She said, “I got to 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 Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothing you can say It's just old Luke and Luke is wating on the Judgement Day “Well, Luke, my friends, what about young Anne Lee?” He said,“Do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep Anne 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 <♪> 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” 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 Catch a cannon ball now and take me down the line My bag is sinking low and 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 put the load right on me... And, and, and you put the load right on me
