C            Em        F                    C           
I pulled into Nazareth, feeling 'bout half past dead
           Em          F            C   
I just need place where I can lay my head
                Em              F                C
"Mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed"

C             Em          F                      C
I picked up my bag, I went looking for a place to hide
          Em                   F               C
When I saw Carmen and the devil walking side by side
               Em        F             C         
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown"

Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothing you can say
             Em               F                        C
It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on the judgement day
               Em           F                C
"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee"
                 Em                    F                      C        F C
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company"

Get your cannon ball now, to take me down the line
           Em               F               C
My bag is sinking low, and I do believe it's time
            Em              F              C      
To save Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one

Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
