Lyrics
(Jamie robertson)
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
