Tekst piosenki
I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' 'bout half past dead;
I just need to find a place where I can lay my head.
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and then he shook my hand, and "No!", was all he said.
Take a load off Fannie, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fannie, And (and) (and)
you put the load right on me. (you 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, "Baby, I gotta go, but my friend the devil can stick around."
Take a load off Fannie, take a load for free
Take a load off Fannie, And (and) (and)
you put the load right on me. (you put the load right on me)
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' that you can say
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke is 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?"
Take a load off Fannie, take a load for free
Take a load off Fannie, And (and) (and)
you put the load right on me. (you put the load right on me)
Take a load off Fannie, take a load for free
Take a load off Fannie, And (and) (and)
you put the load right on me. (you put the load right on me)
