Album: Songs We Like from Before We Were Born

(The Band)

I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about 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, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)

I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' 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 (and) (and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine (3X)
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine (3X)
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine (3X)
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine (3X)

Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load from me
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
