Pulled into Nazareth
Was 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?
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 you put the load right on me
Right on
I picked up my bag
Went looking for a place to hide
Then I saw Carmen and the Devil walking side by side
Said, "Hey Carmen, come on, let's go downtown"
She said, "I got to go, but my friend can stick around"
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
The load right on me
Crazy Chester followed me
And he caught me in the fog
Said, "I will fix your rack
If you take Jack, my dog"
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester
You know I'm a peaceful man"
He said, "That's okay
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
Put the load right on me
Right on me
Right on me
Go down, Miss Moses
There's nothing you can say
It's just old Luke
And Luke's waiting for the Judgement Day
"Well, Luke, my friend
What about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor
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
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
Put the load right on me
Yeah, put the load right on me
Come on and put the load right on me
Catch the Cannonball
Now and take me down the line
My back is sinking 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
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
