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
|
