I pulled into Nazareth was a feelin' 'bout a half past dead
Just need a place to go where I can lay my head
Hey Mister can you tell me where a man might find a bed?
Just smiled 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 put the load right on me
I picked up my bag and went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side
And I said: Hey Carmen, come on let's go downtown?
She said: Well 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 put the load right on me
Go down Miss Moses, ain't nothin' that you can say
Is just old 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 you put the load right on me
Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
He said: I would fix your rack if you'll 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?
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
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 sents me here with her regards for everyone
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And put the load right on me
You put the load right on me
