Fine art is the head and the heart and the hand together

I pulled into Nazareth

Was feelin' bout half past dead

I just needed some place where I could 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"

And she said: "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around."

 

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, will you stay and keep Anna Lee company?"

 

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 OK boy, won't you feed him when you can."

 

Catch a cannonball now, to 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 regards to everyone.
