[00:10.94]I pulled into Nazareth,
[00:13.39]I was feelin'about half past dead;
[00:16.39]I just need some place where I can lay my head.
[00:22.04]"Hey,mister,can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
[00:27.44]He just grinned and shook my hand,
[00:30.40]and "No!",was all he said.
[00:33.70]Take a load off Fannie,
[00:36.45]take a load for free;
[00:39.30]Take a load off Fannie,
[00:42.15]And (and)(and)you can put the load right on me.
[00:50.45]I picked up my bag,
[00:52.60]I went lookin'for a place to hide;
[00:56.15]When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin'side by side.
[01:01.03]I said,"Hey,Carmen,come on,let's go downtown."
[01:07.15]She said,"I gotta go,but m'friend can stick around."
[01:13.00]Take a load off Fannie,
[01:15.70]take a load for free;
[01:18.55]Take a load off Fannie,
[01:21.96]And (and)(and)you can put the load right on me.
[01:32.01]Go down,Miss Moses,there's nothin'you can say
[01:35.16]It's just ol'Luke,
[01:37.06]and Luke's waitin'on the Judgement Day.
[01:40.96]"Well,Luke,my friend,what about young Anna Lee?"
[01:46.45]He said,"Do me a favor,
[01:48.45]son,woncha stay an'keep Anna Lee company?"
[01:52.15]Take a load off Fannie,
[01:54.71]take a load for free;
[01:57.26]Take a load off Fannie,
[02:00.31]And (and)(and)you can put the load right on me.
[02:13.11]Catch a Cannonball,now,t'take me down the line
[02:19.86]My bag is sinkin'low and I do believe it's time.
[02:24.66]To get back to Miss Annie,
[02:28.31]you know she's the only one.
[02:31.36]Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.
[02:36.21]Take a load off Fannie,
[02:39.01]take a load for free;
[02:41.71]Take a load off Fannie,
[02:44.61]And (and)(and)you can put the load right on me.
