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 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 my friend can stick around, yeah |
|
(Take a load off, Fanny) |
|
Take a load for free |
|
Take a load off, Fanny |
|
And put the weight on me |
|
Go down, Moses |
|
There ain't nothin' for you to say |
|
It's just like 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 put the weight on me |
|
Fetch me a cannon ball |
|
Now, take me on down the line |
|
My 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" |
|
Their regards for everyone |
|
(Take a load off, Fanny) |
|
Take a load for free |
|
Take a load off, Fanny |
|
And put the weight on me |
|
Take a load off, Fanny |
|
Take a load for free, yeah |
|
And put the weight on me |
|
And put the weight on me, on me |
