I pulled into Nazareth
I was feelin' bout a half past dead (dead)
I just need some place
Where I can lay my head (head)
Hey mister can you tell me where a girl might find a bed?
(Can ya tell me?)
He just grinned and shook my hand
And 'no' was all he said

Take a load off Fannie
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fannie
Then hey yea yea
Put the weight on me!

I picked up my bag
I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw comin' in the devil
Walkin' side by side
I said 'they comin'
Come on let's go down town'
She said I gotta go but my friend can stick around

Take a load off Fannie
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fannie
Then hey, an yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Woo hoo hoo hoo)

Go down Moses
There's nothin' that a you can say
(Ooo ooo)
It's just like all of us waitin'
Waitin' for the judgement day
(Woo ooo)
Well Luke my friend
What about Annalee?
(Doo ooo ooo)
He said do me a favor?
Stay and keep Annalee some company

Take a load off Fannie
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fannie
Well ell yeah
Put the weight on me

(Yeah yeah yeah)
Catch me a cannonball
And that'll take me on down the line
My bag is circulin'
I believe that it's about time
(You said it girl)
To get in touch with Fannie
You know she's the one
Who said Mickey
Is there a god forever one?
Yeah

Take a load off Fannie
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fannie
Take a load for free
