I pulled into Nazareth, I was feeling about half past dead
|
|
just needed a place where I could 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 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 Judgment 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 cannon ball 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 ]
