Lyrics
0:29I pulled into nazareth I was feeling abut half past dead
0:36I just need some place where I can lay my head
0:43I said hey mister can you tell me where a girl might find a bed
0:51He just grinned and shook his head no was all he said
0:58Take a load off fannie take a load for free
1:05Take a load off fannie
1:08And you put the load put the load right on me
1:29I picked up my bag went looking for a place to hide
1:36When I saw carmen and the devil they was walking side by side
1:43I said hey carmen come on let's go downtown
1:50She said I gotta go but my friend can stick around
1:57Take a load off fannie take a load for free
2:04Take a load off fannie
2:08And you put the load put the load right on me
2:28Go down Miss Moses there's nothing you can say
2:35It's just old luke luke's waiting on the Judgement day
2:43Well luke my friend what about young Anna lee
2:48He said do me a favor son
2:52Won't you stay and keep Anna lee company
2:56Take a load off fannie take a load for free
3:03Take a load off fannie
3:06And you put the load put the load right on me
3:18Put the load right on me
3:55Crazy chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
4:01He said I will fix your rag if you'll take Jack my dog
4:08I said wait a minute chester you know I'm a peaceful woman
4:16He said that's okay but won't you feed him when you can
4:23Take a load off fannie take a load for free
4:30Take a load off fannie
4:33And you put the load put the load right on me
4:53Catch a cannonball now to take me on down the line
5:01My bag is sinking low and I do believe it's time
5:07To get back to Miss fannie you know she's the only one
5:15Who sent me here with her regards for everyone yes
5:21Take a load off fannie take a load for free
5:29Take a load off fannie
5:32And you put the load put the load right on
5:49Put the load right on me put the load right on me
I pulled into nazareth I was feeling abut half past dead I just need some place where I can lay my head I said hey mister can you tell me where a girl might find a bed He just grinned and shook his head no was all he said Take a load off fannie take a load for free Take a load off fannie And you put the load put the load right on me I picked up my bag went looking for a place to hide When I saw carmen and the devil they was 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 fannie take a load for free Take a load off fannie And you put the load put the load right on me Go down Miss Moses there's nothing you can say It's just old luke luke's waiting on the Judgement day Well luke my friend what about young Anna lee He said do me a favor son Won't you stay and keep Anna lee company Take a load off fannie take a load for free Take a load off fannie And you put the load put the load right on me Put the load right on me Crazy chester followed me and he caught me in the fog He said I will fix your rag if you'll take Jack my dog I said wait a minute chester you know I'm a peaceful woman He said that's okay but won't you feed him when you can Take a load off fannie take a load for free Take a load off fannie And you put the load put the load right on me Catch a cannonball now to take me on down the line My bag is sinking low and I do believe it's time To get back to Miss fannie you know she's the only one Who sent me here with her regards for everyone yes Take a load off fannie take a load for free Take a load off fannie And you put the load put the load right on Put the load right on me put the load right on me
