I pulled into Nazareth
I was feelin' bout a half past dead
I just need some place
Where I can lay my head
Hey mister can you tell me
Where a girl might find a bed
He just grinned and shook my hand
And 'no' was all he said

Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
Then hey-yea-yeah
Put the weight 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 down town
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
Then hey, an yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Put the weight on me

Go down Moses
There's nothin' that-a you can say
It's just like old Luke waitin'
Waitin' on the judgement day
Well Luke my friend
What about Annalee
He said Do me a favor
Stay and keep Annalee for company'

Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And yeah-yeah-yeah
Put the weight on me

Catch me a cannonball
Now take me on down the line
My bag is sinking low
I believe that it's about time
To get in touch with Fanny
You know she's the one
Who sent me here
with her regards for everyone
Yeah!

Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny.....
