Video clip

I pulled into nazareth
I was feelin' 'bout a half past dead
(dead)
I just need some place
Where i can lay my head
(head)

Hey mister can you tell me
Where a girl might find a bed?
(can ya tell me?)
He just grinned and shook my hand
And "no" was all he said

Take a load off fannie
Take a load for free
Take a load off fannie
Then hey-yeah-yeah
Put the weight on me

I picked up my bag
I went lookin' for a place to hide
When i saw comin' in the devil
Walkin' side by side

I said, "they're comin'
Come on let's go down town?"
She said, "i gotta go
But my friend can stick around?"

Take a load off fannie
Take a load for free
Take a load off fannie
Then hey, an yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
(woo-hoo-hoo-hoo)

Go down moses
There's nothin' that you can say
(ooo-ooo)
It's just like all of us waitin'
Waitin' for the judgment day
(woo-ooo)

Well, luke my friend
What about annalee?
(doo-ooo-ooo)
He said, "do me a favor?
Stay and keep annalee some company?"

Take a load off fannie
Take a load for free
Take a load off fannie
Well yeah
Put the weight on me

(yeah-yeah-yeah)
Catch me a cannonball
And that'll take me on down the line
(yeah)
My bag is circulin'
I believe that it's about time
(you said it girl)

To get in touch with fannie
You know she's the one
(yeah)
Who said, "mickey
Is there a god for every one?"
Yeah

Take a load off fannie
Take a load for free
Take a load off fannie
Take a load for free
Take a load off fannie
Take a load for free
