[00:10.00] I pulled into Nazareth' I was feelin' about half past dead;
[00:17.00] I just need some place where I can lay my head.
[00:24.00] "Hey' mister' can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
[00:30.00] He just grinned and shook my hand' and "No!"' was all he said.
[00:38.00] Take a load off Fannie' take a load for free;
[00:44.00] Take a load off Fannie' And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
[01:00.00] I picked up my bag' I went lookin' for a place to hide;
[01:09.00] When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side.
[01:15.00] I said' "Hey' Carmen' come on' let's go downtown."
[01:21.00] She said' "I gotta go' but m'friend can stick around."
[01:28.00] Take a load off Fannie' take a load for free;
[01:35.00] Take a load off Fannie' And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
[01:51.00] Go down' Miss Moses' there's nothin' you can say
[01:59.00] It's just ol' Luke' and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day.
[02:05.00] "Well' Luke' my friend' what about young Anna Lee?"
[02:12.00] He said' "Do me a favor' son' woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"
[02:18.00] Take a load off Fannie' take a load for free;
[02:25.00] Take a load off Fannie' And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
[02:42.00] Crazy Chester followed me' and he caught me in the fog.
[02:48.00] He said' "I will fix your rags' if you'll take Jack' my dog."
[02:56.00] I said' "Wait a minute' Chester' you know I'm a peaceful man."
[03:02.00] He said' "That's okay' boy' won't you feed him when you can."
[03:09.00] Take a load off Fannie' take a load for free;
[03:15.00] Take a load off Fannie' And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
[03:32.00] Catch a Cannonball' now' t'take me down the line
[03:38.00] My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time.
[03:44.00] To get back to Miss Annie' you know she's the only one.
[03:51.00] Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.
[03:58.00] Take a load off Fannie' take a load for free;
[04:05.00] Take a load off Fannie' And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
