1
I pulled into Nazareth, I was
2
feelin' about half past dead;
3
I just need some place where
4
I can lay my head.
5
Hey, mister, can you tell me
6
where a man might find a bed?
7
He just grinned and shook my
8
hand, and "No!", was all he said.
9
Take a load off Anny,
10
take a load for free;
11
Take a load off Anny,
12
And you can put the
13
load right on me.
14
I picked up my bag, I went
15
lookin' for a place to hide;
16
When I saw Carmen and
17
the Devil walkin' side by side.
18
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on,
19
let's go downtown."
20
She said, "I gotta go, but my
21
friend can stick around."
22
Take a load off Anny,
23
take a load for free;
24
Take a load off Anny,
25
And you can put the
26
load right on me.
27
Crazy Chester followed me,
28
and he caught me in the fog.
29
He said, "I will fix your rags,
30
if you'll take Jack, my dog."
31
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester,
32
you know I'm a peaceful man."
33
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't
34
you feed him when you can."
35
Take a load off Anny,
36
take a load for free;
37
Take a load off Anny,
38
And you can put the
39
load right on me.
40
Go down, Miss Moses,
41
there's nothin' you can say
42
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's
43
waitin' on the Judgement Day.
44
"Well, Luke, my friend, what
45
about young Anna Lee?"
46
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't
47
you stay and keep Anna Lee
48
company?"
49
Take a load off Anny,
50
take a load for free;
51
Take a load off Anny,
52
And you can put the
53
load right on me.
54
Catch a Cannonball, now,
55
to take me down the line
56
My bag is sinkin' low and
57
I do believe it's time.
58
To get back to Miss Anny,
59
you know she's the only one.
60
Who sent me here with
61
her regards for everyone.
62
Take a load off Anny,
63
take a load for free;
64
Take a load off Anny,
65
And you can put the
66
load right on me
