I pulled in to Nazareth was feeling
`bout half past dead
I just need some place where I could 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 and the Devil
walking side by side
I said
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 you put the load right on me
Go down Miss Moses
there`s nothing that you can say
It`s just old Luke waiting on the judgement day
Well Luke my friend what about young Anna-Lee
He said
Do me a favour 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 you put the load right on me
Catch a cannonball now to take me down the line
My bag is sinking low and I do believe it`s time
To get back to Miss Fanny I 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
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
Put the weight on me
Take a load off Fanny
Put the weight on me
