Lyrics

[00:10.94] I pulled into Nazareth,
[00:13.39] I was feelin'about half past dead;
[00:16.39] I just need some place where I can lay my head.
[00:22.4] "Hey,mister,can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
[00:27.44] He just grinned and shook my hand,
[00:30.40] and"No!",was all he said.
[00:33.70] Take a load off Fannie,
[00:36.45] take a load for free;
[00:39.30] Take a load off Fannie,
[00:42.15] And(and)(and)you can put the load right on me.
[00:50.45] I picked up my bag,
[00:52.60] I went lookin'for a place to hide;
[00:56.15] When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin'side by side.
[01:01.3] I said,"Hey,Carmen,come on,let's go downtown."
[01:07.15] She said,"I gotta go,but m'friend can stick around."
[01:13.0] Take a load off Fannie,
[01:15.70] take a load for free;
[01:18.55] Take a load off Fannie,
[01:21.96] And(and)(and)you can put the load right on me.
[01:32.1] Go down,Miss Moses,there's nothin'you can say
[01:35.16] It's just ol'Luke,
[01:37.6] and Luke's waitin'on the Judgement Day.
[01:40.96] "Well,Luke,my friend,what about young Anna Lee?"
[01:46.45] He said,"Do me a favor,
[01:48.45] son,woncha stay an'keep Anna Lee company?"
[01:52.15] Take a load off Fannie,
[01:54.71] take a load for free;
[01:57.26] Take a load off Fannie,
[02:00.31] And(and)(and)you can put the load right on me.
[02:13.11] Catch a Cannonball,now,t'take me down the line
[02:19.86] My bag is sinkin'low and I do believe it's time.
[02:24.66] To get back to Miss Annie,
[02:28.31] you know she's the only one.
[02:31.36] Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.
[02:36.21] Take a load off Fannie,
[02:39.1] take a load for free;
[02:41.71] Take a load off Fannie,
[02:44.61] And(and)(and)you can put the load right on me.
