Pulled into Nazareth, feeling `bout half past dead Just need a place where I can lay my head Hey mister can you tell me where a girl might find a bed? He just grinned, shook my hand, `no` was all he said
Chorus: Take a load off Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off Fanny and 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 an` 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, t`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
