Lyric Too Long At The Fair

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
