I pulled in to nazareth was feelin' 'bout a half past dead

I just need some place where I can lay my head

Hey mister

Can you tell me where a girl might find a bed

He just grinned and shook my hand

No was all he said

Take a load off fanny

Take the load for free

Take a load off fanny and

And

And 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 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 the load for free

Take a load off fanny and

And

And you put the load right on me

Go down moses there's nothing you can say

It's just old luke waiting

Waiting on the judgement day

Well luke my friend what about anna lee

He said do me a favor stay and keep anna lee from company

Take a load off fanny

Take a load for free

Take a load off fanny and

And

And you put the weight on me

Catch me a cannonball now take me on down the line

My bag is sinking low and I believe that it's about time

Get in touch with fanny you know that she's the 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

Take a load for free

Take a load off fanny
