The Band - The weight (take a load of fanny)

I pulled in to Nazareth was feelin bout half past dead
I just need some place where I can lay my head
Hey mister, can you tell me where a men might find a bed
He just grinned and shook my hand no was all he said
Take the load off Fanny, take the load for free
Take the load off Fanny and, and, 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 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 the load off Fanny, take the load for free
Take the load off Fanny and, and, and you put the load right on me Go down Moses there's nothing you can say
It's just old Luke and Luke's waiting on the judgement day
Well Luke my friend what about Anna Lee
He said do me a favor won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company
Take the load off Fanny, take the load for free
Take the load off Fanny and, and, and you put the load right on me

Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
He said "I will fix your rat 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?"
Take the load off Fanny, take the load for free
Take the load off Fanny and, and, and you put the load right on me

Catch me a cannonball now take me on down the line
My bag is sinking low and I do believe it's time
Get in touch with Fanny you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
Take the load off Fanny, take the load for free
Take the load off Fanny and, and, and you put the load right on me
