I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead
A C#m D A
I just need some place where I can lay my head
A C#m D A
Hey, 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 Fannie, take a load for free,

I picked up my bag, and went looking for a place to hide
A C#m D A
When I saw Carmen and the devil walking side by side
A C#m D A
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown."
A C#m D A
She said, "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around."

It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on the judgement day.
A C#m D A
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Annalee?"
A C#m D A
He said, "Do me a favour, son, won't you stay and keep Annalee company?"

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
A C#m D A
He said, "I will fix you right, if you take Jack, my dog."
A C#m D A
I said, "Wait a minute Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man."
A C#m D A
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can."

Take a load off Fannie, take a load for free,

Get your cannonball, now to take me down the line.
A C#m D A
My bag is sinking low, and I do believe it's time.
A C#m D A
To get back to Miss Fannie, you know she's the only one,
A C#m D A
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.
A E D A E D
Take a load off Fannie, take a load for free,
A E D A D A D
Take a load off Fannie and you put the load right on me.
