[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.

[00:52.60]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."

[01:37.06]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,
