LYRICS & MUSIC (Robbie Robertson)
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, and "No!", was all he said.
CHORUS:
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can 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 m'friend can stick around."
CHORUS
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day.
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"
CHORUS
Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
He said, "I will fix your rack, 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."
CHORUS
Catch a cannon ball now, t'take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' 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.
CHORUS
Such an underrated song: beautiful.
Cheers! 👍
Always loved this song....my favourite Aussie artists in one great tune. Love it☺️❤️🐪
Nearly thirty years later - didn't know this version existed. It's hard to beat The Band's original but this is up there. Also good to hear that The Badloves are still going and about to tour. There is something special about them. As Molly says: "Do yourselves a favour."
Cheers!
@@TheBadlovesOfficial You're welcome. Always loved your work - underrated, in my humble opinion.
I remember Molly giving a great wrap up for Lost back when it came out.
@mrmockatoo6786 Now 26 Mar 2024! A Melbourne community radio station, 98.1 Eastern FM, played the original today. Two male hosts who have the best chat, 4-6pm. One of them referenced this version. Had never heard of and came looking. Loved the video. Loved the musicianship. Your keys player with the bandaged wrist doing a powerful job. What do you think? would it have worked to ask Jimmy to try singing a little quieter?! Adding a some more light and shade.
Love love love, Great song 👍
Omg this is a classic ♥️
