Too Long at The Fair — текст песни (Bonnie Raitt)

Too long at the fair



Jesus cried, wept and died

I guess he went up to heaven

Ive been downtown such a long, long time

Ill never make it home by seven

Wont you come & take me home

Ive been too long at the fair

And, lord, I just cant stand it anymore



Well I went down to chasons

Walked til my feet got sore

I never knew what laughin was

til you walked out the door

Wont you come and take me home

Ive been too long at the fair

And, lord, I just cant stand it anymore



Well, you can give my soul to abraham

Give my soul to saul

Give my bones to canada

My feet they dont hurt at all



I dont know who made the highway

I guess thats 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,

Dont you lose another man

Wont you come and take me home

Ive been too long at the fair

And, lord, I just cant stand it anymore
