I pulled into Nazareth,
I 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,
And, "No", was all he said.

Take a load off Annie,
Take a load for free,
Take a load off Annie,
And... you put the load right on me.

I picked up my bag,
And I went lookin' for a place to hide,
When I saw Carmen and the Devil,
Walkin' side by side,
And I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on,
Would you like to go downtown?",
And she said, "Well, 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... you put the load right on me.

Go down, Miss Moses,
There ain't nothin' that you can say,
'Cause just ol' Luke and Luke's waitin',
On the Judgment Day,
"Well, now Luke, my friend,
What about young Anna Lee?",
He said, "Do me a favor, son,
Won't you stay an' keep Anna Lee company?".

Take a load off Annie,
Take a load for free,
Take a load off Annie,
And... you put the load right on me.

Crazy Chester followed me,
And he caught me in the fog,
He said, "I will fix your rags,
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?".

Take a load off Annie,
Take a load for free,
Take a load off Annie,
And... you put the load right on me.

Catch a Cannonball,
To take me down the line,
My, my bag is sinkin' low,
And I do believe it's time,
To get back to Miss Fannie,
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... you put the load right on me.

Put the load right on me!
