I
pulled into Nazareth, was
feelin' about half past dead
I just need some
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, "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
(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 my 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
(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 and 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
(You put the
load right on me)
Crazy Chester
followed me and he caught me in the fog
He said, "I will
fix your rack if you'll take 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"
Yeah, 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
(You put the
load right on me)
Catch a cannon
ball 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
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
(You put the
load right on me)
