0I pulled in to Nazareth, I was feeling about half past dead. 
A4                 C#m5        D6             A7 
1I just need some place where I can lay my head.

2"Hey, Mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?" 
A12                  C#m13           D14               A15 
3He just grinned, shook my hand, "No" was all he said.

10I picked up my bag.  I went looking for a place to hide. 
11When I saw Carmen and the devil walking side by side. 
12I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on. Let's go downtown." 
13She said, "I got to go, but my friend can stick around." 
14 
15Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothing you can say. 
16It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on the judgement day. 
17"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?" 
18He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company."

20Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog. 
21He said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack my dog." 
22I said, "Wait a minute, Chester. You know I'm a peaceful man." 
23He said, "That's okay, boy.  Won't you feed him when you can?"

25Get your Canonball now, to take me down the line. 
26My bag is sinking low, and I do believe it's time 
27To get back to Miss Fanny.  You know she's the only one 
28Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.             |
