Lyrics
0:33I pulled in to Nazareth
0:36And I was feeling 'bout half past dead
0:40I just need to find me some place
0:42Where I can lay my head
0:46Hey mister can you tell me
0:48Where a man might find a bed
0:52You know he grinned and shook my hand
0:55And no was all he said
0:59I take a load off Fanny
1:02I take a load for free
1:05I take a load off Fanny
1:09And and and you put the load right on me
1:13You put the load right on me
1:21I picked up my bag
1:24I went looking for a place to hide
1:28When I saw
1:29Ms Carmen and the devil walking
1:31Side by side
1:35So I told her
1:36Hey Carmen come on
1:38And let's shake it downtown
1:41And she said
1:42Wait I gotta go
1:43But my friend can stick around
1:47And you can take a load off Fanny
1:51I take a load for free
1:54I take a load off Fanny
1:58And and and you put the load right on me
2:01You put the load right on me
2:36Go down Miss Molly
2:39There's nothin' that you can say
2:43It's just ol' Luke
2:45And he's waitin' on the judgement day
2:47On the judgement day
2:50Well Luke my friend what about young Anna Lee
2:56Do me a favor son won't ya stay
2:59And keep Anna Lee company
3:02And take a load off Fanny
3:06Take a load for free
3:09Take a load off Fanny
3:13And and and you put the load right on me
3:17You put the load right on me
3:26Crazy Chester followed me
3:29And he caught me in the fog
3:32He said I'll fix your rack
3:35If you'll take oh Jack my dog
3:39I said wait a minute Chester
3:41Ohhh
3:42I'm a peaceful man
3:45He said that's okay boy
3:47Oh when you feed him up
3:49Feed him well
3:50Whenever you can
3:52And take a load off Fanny
3:55Take a load for free
3:59Take a load off Fanny
4:03And and and you put the load right on me
4:48I'm gonna catch me a cannonball
4:50Now to take me on down the line
4:55You know my bag is sinkin' low
4:57And I do believe that it's time
5:01To get back to
5:02Miss Fanny you know
5:04She's the only one
5:07She's the only one
5:08The one who sent me here at night
5:10Here with her regards for everyone
5:14You better
5:14Take a load off Fanny
5:18Take a load for free
5:21Take a load off Fanny
5:25And and and you put the load right on me
5:30You put the load right on me
