[Verse 1]
I pulled in to Nazareth
I was feelin' 'bout half-past dead
I just need some place
Where I can lay my head
Hey, mister, can you tell me
Where can I find a bed?
He just grinned, shook my hand
"No," was all he said
[Chorus]
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
[Verse 2]
Picked up my bag
I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw old Carmen and the Devil
Walking side by side
Well, I said, "Hey, Carmen
Come on, let's go downtown"
She said, "I got to go
But my friend can stick around"
I pulled in to Nazareth
I was feelin' 'bout half-past dead
I just need some place
Where I can lay my head
Hey, mister, can you tell me
Where can I find a bed?
He just grinned, shook my hand
"No," was all he said
[Chorus]
Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on me
[Verse 2]
Picked up my bag
I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw old Carmen and the Devil
Walking side by side
Well, I said, "Hey, Carmen
Come on, let's go downtown"
She said, "I got to go
But my friend can stick around"
