Pulled into Nazareth feeling 'bout half past dead
Just need a place where I can lay my head
Hey mister can you tell me where a girl might find a bed
He just grinned shook my hand 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 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 m'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

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 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' for the Judgement Day
Well 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 put the load right on me
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And put the load right on me

Catch a cannon ball now t'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
