               C#m            D                       A
I pulled in to Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead
                 C#m         D             A
I just need some place where I can lay my head
                     C#m              D                A
"Hey mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
                    C#m               D                A
He just grinned and shook my hand, ``No'' was all he said

Chorus:
A       E         D
Take a load off, Fanny
A       E         D
Take a load for free
A       E         D
Take a load off, Fanny
                               A
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''

Chorus

Go down Miss 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 young Anna-Lee?''
He said ``Do me a favour 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 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?''

Chorus

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, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone

Chorus
