  • Song Lyrics:
    I pulled into Nazareth, 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, "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 right on me
    (You 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, 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 right on me
    (You 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 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 right on me
    (You put the load right on me)

    Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
    He said, "I will fix your rack if you'll take Jack, my dog"
    I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man"
    He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can"

    Yeah, take a load off, Fanny
    Take a load for free
    Take a load off, Fanny
    And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
    (You put the load right on me)

    Catch a cannon ball now to 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) you put the load right on me
    (You put the load right on me)
    (Hatman)
