Lyrics
I pulled into Nazareth
Was feelin' 'bout 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 you put the load right on me
Put the load right on me
Ooh
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 is stickin' around." 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
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just old 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 you put the load right on me
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 you put the load right on me
Put the load right on me
Catch a cannonball 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 you put the load right on me
Put the load right on me
