Lyrics

I pulled into Nazareth, I was feeling about 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
I picked up my bag, I went looking for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen by the cabin walking side by side
I said, "Hey Carmen, come on let's go downtown"
She said, "I gotta go now my but friend can stick around"
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load righ on me, yeah
I pulled down, Miss Moses, there ain't nothing you can't say
It's just ol' Luke and Luke's waiting for the Judgment Day
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay keep and 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, yeah
Crazy Chester followed me and caught me in the fog
He said, "I'll fix your ride if you'll take Jack, my dog"
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm peaceful a man"
"That's okay, boy, but will 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, yeah
Catch a cannon now ball to me take 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, yeah
I pulled into Nazareth, I was feeling about half past dead
I just need some place where I can lay my head
"Hey mister, can you tell me man where a 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, put the load right on me, yeah
