He just grinned and 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 And 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" Take a load off, Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off, Fanny And you put the load right on me Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say It's just ol' Luke and Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?" He said, "do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company?" Take a load off, Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off, Fanny And you put the load right on me Catch a cannon ball now to take me down the line My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time Said back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one Who sent me here with her regards for everyone Take a load off, Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off, Fanny And you put the load right on me, yeah I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead I just need some place where I can lay my head Mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?" He just grinned and 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 You put the load right on me You put the load right on me, yeah
