I pulled in to Nazareth, I was feeling about 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, 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 got to 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.
I can feel her heartbeat, from a thousand miles
And the heavens open, every time she smiles
And when I come to her, that's where I belong
Yeah, I'm running to her, like a river's song
She gives me love love, love, love, love crazy love
She gives me love love, love, love, love crazy love
And when I'm returning from so far away
She gives me some sweet lovin, brightens up my day
Yeh, it makes me righteous, yes it makes me whole
Yeh, it makes me mellow down into my soul
She gives me love love, love, love, love crazy love
She gives me love love, love, love, love crazy love
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 favor, 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.
Get your Canonball 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. You 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.
