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

I went down to Jason's

Walked 'til my feet were sore

I never knew what laughing 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 take it any more

You can give my soul to Abraham

Give my soul to Saul

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 the prince of darkness

On his charger ride

The silver blade is gleaming

The scales are all in his hands

I swear that night is falling, don't you lose another man

Won't you come and take me home?

I've been too long at fair

And, Lord, I just can't stand it any more

And, Lord, I just can't stand it any more
