I pulled into nazareth |
|
I 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 girl 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) put the weight 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 m'friend can stick around" |
|
Take a load off fanny |
|
Take a load for free |
|
Take a load off fanny |
|
And (and) (and) put the weight on me |
|
Go down, moses |
|
There ain't nothin' for you to 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 |
|
Stay an' keep anna lee company." |
|
Take a load off fanny |
|
Take a load for free |
|
Take a load off fanny |
|
And (and) (and) put the weight on me |
|
Fetch me a cannon ball |
|
Now take me on down the line |
|
May bag is sinkin' low |
|
And i believe it's about time |
|
To get in touch with me |
|
You know she's the one |
|
He said, "honey, regards for everyone." |
|
Take a load off fanny |
|
Take a load for free |
|
Take a load off fanny |
|
And (and) (and) put the weight on me |
