I pulled into Nazareth
I 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
And "no!" was all he said
(chorus:)
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And (and) (and) you can 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 m'friend can stick around"
(chorus)
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,
Woncha stay and keep Anna Lee company?"
(chorus)
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"
(chorus)
Catch a cannon ball, now
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
(chorus) |
