i pulled in to nazareth
was feeling ’bout 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 you put the load right on me
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
and she said i gotta go
but my friend can stick around
and 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 judgement day
well luke my friend what about young anna lee
he said do me a favor son won’t ya stay and keep anna lee company
and 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

he said that’s okay boy won’t you feed him when you can
and 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

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
