the weight
I pulled in to Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead I just need some place where I could lay my head Hey mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed? He just grinned and shook my hand 'No' was all he said  Take a load off, Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off, Fanny And you put the load right on me  I picked up my bag, I went looking for a place to hide When I saw Carmen and the Devil 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, Fanny  Take a load for free  Take a load off, Fanny  And you put the load right on me  Go down Miss Moses, there's nothing that you can say  It's just old Luke, waiting on the judgement day  'Well, Luke my friend, what about young Anna-Lee?' He said 'Do me a favour son, won't you stay and keep Anna-Lee company?'  Take a load off, Fanny  Take a load for free  Take a load off, Fanny  And you put the load right on me  Catch a cannonball now to take me down the line  My bag is sinking low and I do believe it's time  To get back to Miss Fanny, I know she's the only one  Who sent me here with her regards for everyone  Take a load off, Fanny  Take a load for free  Take a load off, Fanny  And you put the load right on me  Take a load off, Fanny  Take a load for free  Take a load off, Fanny  Put the weight on me  Take a load off, Fanny  Put the weight on me
