Stayed Too Long at the Fair

Lyrics

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 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
