I pulled in to Nazareth, was feeling 'bout 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, ``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, 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''

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'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?''

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 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?''

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 now to take me down
the line
My bag is sinking low and I do
believe it's time
To get back to Miss Annie,
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
