"Well, now Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
Publisher: DWARF MUSIC
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
Take a load for free
(You put the load right on me)
(You put the load right on me)
(You put the load right on me)
He just grinned and shook my hand and, "No", was all he said
Take a load off Anny
Just need to find a place where I can lay my head
Take a load off Anny
Catch a Cannonball, now, to take me down the line

(You put the load right on me)
And she said, "Well, I gotta go but my friend can stick around"
To get back to Miss Anny, you know she's the only one
Take a load off Anny
He said, "I will fix your rags, if you'll take Jack, my dog"
Go down, Miss Moses, there ain't nothin' that you can say
Take a load off Anny
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can?"
And I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, would you go downtown"
And you put the load right on me
And you put the load right on me
My, my bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time
And you put the load right on me
Take a load off Anny
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side
I pulled into Nazareth, I was feelin' about half past dead
Take a load off Anny
I picked up my bag and I went lookin' for a place to hide
Take a load for free
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man"
Take a load for free
Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
Take a load off Anny
And take a load off Anny
Take a load for free
'Cause just ol' Luke and Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
(You put the load right on me)
And you put the load right on me
Take a load off Anny
And you put the load right on me
Take a load off Anny
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"
