Take a load off Fannie
Put the weight on me
You know she's the one
My bag is circulin'
And now take me on down the line
Take a load off Fannie
Take a load for free
Walkin' side by side
I pulled into Nazareth
Go down Moses
It's just like all of us waitin'
I was feelin' bout a half past dead
Take a load off Fannie
Put the weight on me
Take a load off Fannie
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fannie
"Hey mister can you tell me
Where I can lay my head
Take a load for free
Take a load for free
Where a girl might find a bed"
Take a load off Fannie
Take a load off Fannie
Take a load for free
Well Luke my friend
And I believe that it's about time
But my friend can stick around"
Take a load off Fannie
Is there a God forever one
I went lookin' for a place to hide
Stay and keep Annalee some company"
Take a load off Fannie, well yeah

Catch me a cannonball
He said, "Do me a favor
She said, "I gotta go
Then hey, an yeah yeah yeah yeah
I just need some place
Who said Mickey
Take a load off Fannie
Take a load for free
To get in touch with Fannie
And, "No" was all he said
Take a load for free
