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) |
