I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' 'bout half past dead;
I just need to find a place
where I can lay my head
"Hey, Mister, can you tell me where
a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand
and "No!" was all he said.


Take a load off Annie, take a load for free;
Take a load off Annie,
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me.

I picked up my bag
I went lookin' for a place to hide;
When 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 m'friend can stick around."

Take a load off Annie, take a load for free;
Take a load off Annie, And (and) (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
"Well, Luke, my friend
what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son
won'tcha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"

Take a load off Annie, take a load for free;
Take a load off Annie, And (and) (and)
you put the load right on me.

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

Take a load off Annie, take a load for free;
Take a load off Annie, And (and) (and)
you put the load right on me.

Catch a Cannonball now,
to take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' low
and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny
you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her
regards for everyone.
