I pulled in to Nazareth, was feeling 'bout 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, [bad word]  Take a load for free
 Take a load off, [bad word]  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 [bad word] on, let's go downtown"
 She said "I gotta go but my friend can stick around"
 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 [bad word] "
 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?''
 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 [bad word]  you know she's the only one
 Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
