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 Jason´s Walked ´til my feet got sore But 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
You can give my soul to Abraham Give my soul to Saul Give my bones to Canada My teeth 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 that 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
