Radio Paradise (mobile)

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)
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just ol' Luke and Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won'tcha stay and keep Anna Lee company?"
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)
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"
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)
Catch a cannon ball 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 her regards for everyone
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)

craighoog May 28, 2013 - 18:16	almost perfect. yes, god bless Levon. The rest of the group does okay, too. [ Reply ]

Curley24 Feb 23, 2013 - 11:22	Another crummy song from a crappy and overrated band. [ Reply ]
JanioV Sep 19, 2012 - 13:16	Wow... The really clobbered Rick Danko's voice in the remix. This is terrible. Dig out the old CD, Bill. [ Reply ]
nagsheadlocal Sep 19, 2012 - 13:14	Man, this must be remastered - I can really hear Garth tickling the ivories in the background of the verses. RIP Levon. By all accounts a decent human being and there's damned few of those. [ Reply ]
Grammarcop Apr 20, 2012 - 09:06	I saw them after Robbie Robertson left The Band and before Richard Manuel committed suicide. They played an outdoor food festival in Detroit's New Center area. Here was one of the coolest, most influential groups in the history of rock and they were playing for free in the middle of West Grand Boulevard. And practically no one was paying attention. Sigh.

Sasha2001 Apr 20, 2012 - 09:02	A big bright earthly light has been extinguished. Levon's passing has been harder to take for some reason. In the battle of the bands, I think heaven is winning. [ Reply ]
Webfoot Apr 20, 2012 - 09:01	Not a bad legacy. RIP Levon. [ Reply ]
Bozo Apr 20, 2012 - 09:00	I am not kidding: I have seen the Last Waltz over 100 times (blame my brother who is on his third copy of the DVD) and Levon was the coolest looking drummer EVER!!! Sorry I never attended a ramble [ Reply ]
(former member) Apr 20, 2012 - 09:00	Perfect song... this is for Levon Helm— His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead. —James Joyce, "The Dead" in Dubliners (1914) [ Reply ]

GT66 Apr 20, 2012 - 08:57	Perhaps the strangest lyrics I've ever heard in a song. R.I.P. Levon Helm. [ Reply ]
