Intro
Verse 1
I pulled in to Nazareth, I was feeling 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, shook my hand, "No" was all he said.
Chorus
Take a load off, Fanny.
Take a load for free.
Take a load off, Fanny.
And...And...And.you put the load right on me.
