Stayed Too Long At The Fair lyrics - Bonnie Raitt

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
