I pulled in to nazareth
I was feeling bout half past dead
I just need some place

Where i can lay my head

Hey, mister, can you tell me

Where can i find a bed
He just grinned, shook my hand
No, was all he said


(chorus)
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 old carmen and
The devil walking side by side


Well, i said, hey, carmen
Come on, let's go downtown
She said, i got to go

But my friend can stick around

(chorus)


Go down, miss moses
There's nothing you can say

It's just old luke, and luke is
Waiting on the judgement day


Well, luke, my friend
What about young anna lee
He said, do me a favor, hon

Won't you stay and
Keep anna lee company


(chorus)

Get your cannonball now

Take me down the line
My bag is sinking 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


(chorus)
