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 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) put the load right 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 now 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) put the load right on me
Go down Miss Moses there's nothin' you can say
It's just ol' Luke and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day
"Well Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
"Won't you do me a favour son, won't ya stay and keep Anna Lee company?"
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny, and (and) (and) put the load right on me
Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
He said "I'll fix your rack if you'll take Jack my dog"
I said "Wait a minute Chester I'm a peaceful man"
He said "That's okay just feed him when you can"
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny, and (and) (and) put the load right on me
Catch a cannon ball now take me 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 (and) (and) put the load right on me
