County Fair

[00:20.75] Well the County Fair left quite a mess
[00:23.92] In the county yard
[00:26.02] Kids with eyes as big as dollars
[00:28.34] Rode all the rides
[00:30.88] Strip artists and con artists
[00:33.15] Put on quite a show
[00:35.48] And made some money
[00:37.05] Then left town
[00:38.14] Where they went I don’t know
[00:41.24]
[00:48.39] Hey all you suckers
[00:51.39] I heard a fat woman say
[00:54.45] Come on in for fifty cents
[00:56.34] You can stay in here all day
[00:59.01] So I took a chance
[01:00.23] I went inside
[01:01.36] Wasn’t much there to see
[01:03.85] So I asked her for my money back
[01:06.15] And she just smiled at me
[01:09.61]
[01:12.60] Saw Princess Tonyika taken off all her clothes
[01:17.47] Rode some rides and played some games
[01:20.10] Saw the Wild Man from Barneo
[01:22.89] There was a black man playing the blues
[01:27.46] Talked to some friends I hadn’t seen in a while
[01:32.57]
[01:36.28] Through a football through a hoop
[01:39.37] Well I saw them loading up their trucks
[01:41.42] Taking down the rides
[01:44.82] Folding up all the tents
[01:46.27] There’s a full moon in the sky
[01:49.86] Some were laughing some were cussing
[01:54.24] As they worked
[01:57.36] Saw one of them making love
[01:58.61] To a local girl
[01:59.86] I was minding my own business
[02:01.98] It was quarter after two
[02:04.46] When a fella walked up and said
[02:06.15] Hey man
[02:08.23] I remember you
[02:10.04] And then he shoved me
[02:11.71] And pulled out his knife
[02:14.48] Stuck me three times in the chest
[02:16.74] And I died that night
[02:20.22]
[02:28.70] For the like of me I can’t remember
[02:31.43] Who he was
[02:33.08] And why he’d put a knife in me
[02:35.11] In the dusty parking lot
[02:38.56] Everybody said
[02:39.75] What a shame it was
[02:42.96] But he knew better than staying out
[02:45.22] Past twelve o’clock
[02:48.44]
[02:56.45] Some people put no value
[02:58.73] On a human life
[03:01.72] And there are places we all go
[03:03.34] That just ain’t safe at night
[03:06.50] If somebody would do this to me
[03:08.60] They just might do it to you
[03:11.11] So be careful where you go
[03:13.82] And what you say or do
[03:17.05]
[03:24.93] Well the County Fair left quite a mess
[03:27.69] In the county yard
[03:28.76]
