(The Band)
I pulled in to Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead
I just need some place where I can 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, f*nny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, f*nny
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, f*nny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, f*nny
And you put the load right on me
Go down Miss Moses, there's nothing you can say
It's just old Luke, and Luke's 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, f*nny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, f*nny
And you put the load right on me
Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
He said I will fix your rat 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?''
Take a load off, f*nny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, f*nny
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 f*nny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
Take a load off, f*nny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, f*nny
And you put the load right on me
