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
