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 and take me home?

I've been too long at the fair

And, Lord, I just can't stand it anymore

I went down to Jason's

Walked till my feet got sore

But I never knew what laughin' was

Till 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

You can give my soul to Abraham

Give my soul to Saul

You give my bones to Canada

My teeth, 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 of Prince of Darkness

On his charger ride

The silver blade is gleamin'

The scales are in his hands

I swear that 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

And, Lord, I just can't stand it anymore
