I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' 'bout half past dead
I just need some place, where I can lay my head
Hey Mister can ya 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, (and), (and)
You put the load, (put the load), right on me
I picked up my bags, went a-lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw poor Carmen and the Devil, walkin' side by side
I said 'a-hey Carmen, come on let's go downtown'
She said, 'I gotta go, but my friend can stick around'
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny, and, (and), (and)
You put the load, (put the load), right on me
Go down Moses, there ain't nothin' that a-you can't say
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke is waiting 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, (and), (and)
You put the load, (put the load), right on me
Catch a Cannonball now to take me on down the line
My bag is sinkin' low, and I do believe it's time
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, (and), (and)
You put the load, (put the load), right on me
