0:13I pulled in to nazareth
0:15I was feeling 'bout half past dead
0:19I just need to find a place
0:22Where I can lay my head
0:26Mister
0:27Can you tell me
0:29Where a girl might find a bed
0:32He just grinned and shook my hand
0:35No was all he said
0:39Take a load off fanny
0:42Take a load for free
0:46Take a load off fanny
0:50And you put the load right on me
1:02I picked up my bag
1:04I went looking for a place to hide
1:09When I saw carmen and the devil walking side by side
1:15I said hey carmen
1:18Come on
1:19Let's go downtown
1:22She said
1:23I gotta go
1:25But my friend can stick around
1:28And take a load off fanny
1:32Take a load for free
1:35Take a load off fanny
1:39And you put the load right on me
1:47Put the load on me
1:48Go down
1:52Moses
1:54There's nothin' you can say
1:58It's just ol' luke
2:00And luke's waitin' on the judgement day
2:05Well

2:07What about young anna lee
2:10He said
2:12Do me a favor
2:14Son

2:18And take a load off fanny
2:22Take a load for free
2:25Take a load off fanny
2:29And you put the load right on me
2:37Put the load on me
2:42Crazy chester followed me
2:44And he caught me in the fog

2:51You'll take jack
2:52My dog

3:02He said

3:09And take a load off fanny
3:12Take a load for free

3:35To take me down the line
3:39My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe that it's time
3:46To get back to miss fanny
