I pulled in to Naz-a-reth,
4* 4* -3 -3 -3 -3 -3
was feel-in’ ’bout half past dead
-3 -3 -3 -3 4* 4* -4 -3 -3 -3 -6*5*6
I just need some place where I can lay my head
-6* -6* 6 -6* 6 -6* 5*
“Hey mis-ter, can ya tell me
5* -4 4* -3 -3 -2* -3
where a man might find a bed?”
-3 -3 -3 -3 4* 4* 4*
He just grinned and shook my hand,
-4 -3 -3 -3 -3
“No” was all he said
2-2*2-3-34*4*6
6 6 6 5* -3 -3
Take a load off, Fan-ny
-4-44*4*6
6 6 6 5* -3
Take a load for free
-44*-4-2*-1 1*
6 6 6 5* -3 -3
Take a load off, Fan-ny
-3-4-3-2*-34*-5

And, and, and you put the load right on me

Hum
I picked up my bag,
I went looking for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the
Devil walking side by side
I said “Hey Carmen, come on,
let’s go downtown”
She said “I gotta go but my
friend can stick around”
Go down Miss Moses,
there’s nothing you can say
It’s just old Luke,
and Luke’s waiting on the judgement day
“Well, Luke my friend,
what about young Anna-Lee?”
He said “Do me a favour son,
won’t you stay and keep Anna-Lee company?”
Crazy Chester followed me
and he caught me in the fog
He said “I will fix your rat
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?”
Catch a cannonball now
to take me down the line
My bag is sinking 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
