I pulled in to Nazareth, I was feeling 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?

C              Em                   F               C
    When I saw Carmen and the devil walking side by side.

 Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothing you can say.

  It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on the judgement day.
C                Em            F               C
 "Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
C                   Em                    F                      C

 Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog.
C                 Em                F                   C
 He said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack my dog."
C                         Em                F              C

 Get your Canonball now, to take me down the line.
C           Em                 F               C
  My bag is sinking low, and I do believe it's time
C                    Em               F              C
 To get back to Miss Fanny.  You know she's the only one
C            Em              F              C
 Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.
