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, lets go downtown
She said, i gotta go, but mfriend 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 aint nothin for you to say
Its just ol luke
And lukes 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 its about time
To get in touch with me
You know shes 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
