Song Lyrics

A C#m D A
I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin` about half past dead;
C#m D A
I just need some place where I can lay my head.
C#m D A
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
C#m D A
He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No!", was all he said.


(Chorus:)
A E D A E D
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free;
A E D A D
Take a load off Fanny, And you can put the load right on
me.

A E D A D

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, "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around."

(Chorus)

Go down, Miss Moses, there`s nothin` you can say
It`s just ol` Luke, and Luke`s waitin` on the Judgement Day.
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won`t you stay and keep Anna Lee
company?"

(Chorus)

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
He said, "I will fix your rack, 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."

(Chorus)

Catch a Cannonball, now, to take me down the line
My bag is sinkin` low and I do believe it`s time.
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she`s the only one.
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.

(Chorus)
