I pulled into Nazareth just a feelin' 'bout a half past dead |
|
I just need to find a place where I can lay my head |
|
Mister can you tell me where a man might find a bed? |
|
He just grinned 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 you put the load right on me |
|
I picked up my bag and went lookin' for a place to hide |
|
When I saw old Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side |
|
And I said, "Hey Carmen, come on will you go downtown?" |
|
She said, "Well I gotta go but my friend can stick around anyhow" |
|
Take a load off Fanny |
|
Take a load for free |
|
Take a load off Fanny |
|
And you put the load right on me |
|
Go down Miss Moses, ain't nothin' that you can say |
|
'Cause is just old Luke and Luke's waitin' on the judgment day |
|
Well now 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 yeah, and he caught me in the fog |
|
He said, "I would fix your rack, oh yeah if you'll just 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?" |
|
Won't ya 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 |
|
'Cause 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 |
|
I want you to take a load off Fanny |
|
Take a load for free |
|
Take a load off Fanny |
|
And you put the load right on me |
