. VERSE 1 I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' 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 and shook my hand, and "No!", was all he said. Take a load off, Fanny, take a load for free; NC Take a load off, Fanny, a-a-a-and you put the load right on me. VERSE 2 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 m'friend can stick around." (Chorus) Third Verse 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) VERSE 4 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. Yu know she's the only one Who sent me here with her regards for everyone. (Chorus)
