too long at the fair



Jesus cried, wept and died

I guess he went up to heaven

I've been downtown such a long, long time

I'll never make it home by seven

Won't you come & take me home

I've been too long at the fair

And, lord, i just can't stand it anymore



Well i went down to chason's

Walked 'til my feet got sore

I never knew what laughin' was

'til you walked out the door

Won't you come and take me home

I've been too long at the fair

And, lord, i just can't stand it anymore



Well, you can give my soul to abraham

Give my soul to saul

Give my bones to canada

My feet they don't hurt at all



I don't know who made the highway

I guess that's just my pride

But i have heard the prince of darkness

On his charger ride



The silver blade is gleamin'

The scales are in his hands

I swear another night is fallin',

Don't you lose another man

Won't you come and take me home

I've been too long at the fair

And, lord, i just can't stand it anymore
