I pulled into Nazarethwas feelin about half past dead;
I just need some place where I can lay my head.
"Heymistercan you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my handand "No!"was all he said.
(Chorus:)
Take a load off Fannytake a load for free;
Take a load off FannyAnd (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
I picked up my bagI went lookin for a place to hide;
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin side by side.
I said"HeyCarmencome onlet s go downtown."
She said"I gotta gobut m friend can stick around."
(Chorus)
Go downMiss Mosesthere s nothin you can say
It s just ol Lukeand Luke s waitin on the Judgement Day.
"WellLukemy friendwhat about young Anna Lee?"
He said"Do me a favorsonwoncha stay an keep Anna Lee company?"
(Chorus)
Crazy Chester followed meand he caught me in the fog.
He said"I will fix your rackif you ll take Jackmy dog."
I said"Wait a minuteChesteryou know I m a peaceful man."
He said"That s okayboywon t you feed him when you can."
(Chorus)
Catch a cannon ball nowt take me down the line
My bag is sinkin low and I do believe it s time.
To get back to Miss Fannyyou know she s the only one.
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.
(Chorus)
