I pulled into Nazareth...

[MartyMcFly3]

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, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
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, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
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, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
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, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
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 Fanny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone

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


Love this song. Such a shame they put this in a friggin Cingular Wireless commercial though.

I had more content and a better title. Just kidding.

But you don't even have the title of the song or the band mentioned anywhere!
Granted, I didn't mention the band (no pun intended) either.

 

[aircooled]

why do people post entire song lyrics when just a blurb would have gotten the message across?

 

[Daaavo]

Seriously. Not enough cowbell.

 

[preslove]

Music from Big Pink kicks ass.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Is it just me? I really don't GET the Band at all.

I watched The Last Waltz, and the narrator keeps describing their commitment to musicianship - all I hear is bland, watered-down white-boy blues. I know they're supposedly brilliant, influential, etc., but to me they seem completely dull and lifeless. Their lyrics (actually this song is a perfect example) are cryptic and pointless as near as I can tell. Am I the only one who thinks the Band, well, suck?
